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, O my God, the voice of my lament: guard my life from the dread of the foe.

2 Štiti me od mnoštva opakih, sakrij od bjesnila zlotvora

Hide me from villains who secretly plot, from the blustering throng of the workers of evil,

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

who have sharpened their tongue like a sword, and aimed bitter words like arrows,

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

which from ambush they launch at the blameless, shooting swiftly and unafraid.

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

They strengthen their wicked purpose, they tell of the snares they have hidden, they say to themselves, ‘Who can see?’

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

They think out their crimes full cunningly hidden deep in their crafty hearts.

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

But God with his arrow will shoot them, swiftly shall they be smitten.

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

For their tongue he will bring them to ruin, all will shudder with horror at the sight of them.

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

Then every person, touched to awe, as they ponder what God has wrought, will tell the tale of his deeds.

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

In the Lord shall the righteous rejoice, in him shall they take refuge; and all the true-hearted shall glory.
