Psalmi 64

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

“For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” Hear my voice, O God! when I pray! Preserve my life from the terrors of the enemy!

2 Štiti me od mnoštva opakih, sakrij od bjesnila zlotvora

Hide me from the assembly of the wicked, From the brawling crowd of evil-doers!

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

For like a sword they sharpen their tongues, Like arrows they aim their poisoned words,

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

To shoot in secret at the upright; Suddenly do they shoot at him without fear.

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

They prepare themselves for an evil deed; They commune of laying secret snares: “Who,” say they, “will see them?”

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

They meditate crimes: “We have finished,” say they, “our plans!” The heart and bosom of every one of them are deep.

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

But God will shoot an arrow at them; Suddenly shall they be wounded.

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

Thus their own tongues shall bring them down; All who see them will flee away.

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

Then will all men stand in awe, And declare what God hath done, And attentively consider his work.

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

The righteous shall rejoice, and trust in the LORD; All the upright in heart shall glory.
