Žalmy 64
1 Přednímu z kantorů, žalm Davidův. Slyš, ó Bože, hlas můj, když naříkám, před hrůzou nepřítele ostříhej života mého.
God, listen to me as I tell you the things that I am worried about. I am afraid of my enemies; so save/rescue me from them.
2 Skrej mne před úklady zlostníků, před zbouřením těch, kteříž páší nepravost,
Protect me from what wicked men are planning to do to me; protect me from that gang of men who do what is evil.
3 Kteříž naostřili jako meč jazyk svůj, naměřili střelu svou, řeč přehořkou.
The hostile things they say [MTY] are like [SIM] [sharp] swords; their cruel words are like [SIM] arrows.
4 Aby stříleli z skrýší na upřímého; nenadále naň vystřelují, aniž se koho bojí.
Without being afraid, they [lie about people and slander people] who have not done what is wrong, like someone who suddenly jumps up from where he is hiding and shoots [arrows] at his enemy [MET].
5 Zatvrzují se ve zlém, smlouvají se, jak by poléci mohli osídla, a říkají: Kdo je spatří?
They encourage each other about doing the evil things that they are planning to do; they talk [with each other] about where they can set traps to catch people, and they think, “No one [RHQ] will see what we are doing,
6 Vyhledávají snažně nešlechetnosti, hyneme od ran přelstivých; takť vnitřnost a srdce člověka hluboké jest.
because we have planned very well the crime that we are going to commit!” No one can fully understand what people can think and plan!
7 Ale jakž Bůh vystřelí na ně prudkou střelu, poraženi budou.
But [it will be as though] God will shoot his arrows at them, and suddenly they will be wounded.
8 A ku pádu je přivede vlastní jazyk jejich; vzdálí se jich každý, kdož by je viděl.
Because of what they say [MTY], he will get rid of them, and then everyone who sees [what has happened to] them will shake their heads [to ridicule them].
9 I budou se báti všickni lidé, a ohlašovati skutek Boží, a k srozumívání dílu jeho příčinu dadí.
And then everyone will be afraid [to sin because of what might happen to them, also]; they will tell others what God has done, and they themselves will think much about it.
10 Spravedlivý pak veseliti se bude v Hospodinu, a v něm doufati, anobrž chlubiti se budou všickni, kteříž jsou upřímého srdce.
Righteous people should rejoice because of what Yahweh [has done]; they should go to him to (find protection/be safe); and all those who are godly will praise him.
