Psalmi 64

1 Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov. Poslušaj, Bože, moje žalbe glas; od strašna dušmanina život mi čuvaj!

For the Leader. A Psalm of David. Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; preserve my life from the terror of the enemy.

2 Štiti me od mnoštva opakih, sakrij od bjesnila zlotvora

Hide me from the council of evil-doers; from the tumult of the workers of iniquity;

3 koji bruse jezike k'o mačeve, otrovne riječi izbacuju kao strijele,

Who have whet their tongue like a sword, and have aimed their arrow, a poisoned word;

4 da iz potaje rane nedužna, da ga rane iznenada ne bojeć' se ničega.

That they may shoot in secret places at the blameless; suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

5 Spremni su na djelo pakosno, snuju kako će kradom zamke staviti i govore: “Tko će nas vidjeti?”

They encourage one another in an evil matter; they converse of laying snares secretly; they ask, who would see them.

6 Snuju zlodjela, smišljene osnove kriju: pamet i srce čovječje bezdan su duboki.

They search out iniquities, they have accomplished a diligent search; even in the inward thought of every one, and the deep heart.

7 No Bog ih ranjava strijelom, odjednom ih rane prekriju.

But God doth shoot at them with an arrow suddenly; thence are their wounds.

8 Vlastiti jezik propast im donosi, kimaju glavom oni što ih vide:

So they make their own tongue a stumbling unto themselves; all that see them shake the head.

9 svi se boje, Božje djelo slave i misle o onom što on učini.

And all men fear; and they declare the work of God, and understand His doing.

10 Pravednik se raduje u Jahvi, njemu se utječe, i kliču svim srcem čestiti.

The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall take refuge in Him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
