Psalms 64

1 Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint. Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

Til Sangmesteren; en Psalme af David.

2 Hide me from the secret counsel of evildoers, from the tumult of the workers of iniquity,

Gud! hør min Røst i min Klage, bevar mit Liv fra Fjendens frygtelige Magt.

3 who have whet their tongue like a sword, and have aimed their arrows, even bitter words,

Skjul mig for de ondes lønlige Raad, for deres Forsamling, som gøre Uret,

4 that they may shoot in secret places at a blameless man. Suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

som skærpe deres Tunge som et Sværd; de skyde deres Pil, det bitre Ord,

5 They encourage themselves in an evil purpose. They converse of laying snares secretly. They say, Who will see them?

for i Skjul at skyde den retsindige; hastelig skyde de paa ham og frygte ikke.

6 They search out iniquities, saying, We have accomplished a diligent search. And the inward part of man and the heart are deep.

De styrke sig i deres onde Handel, de fortælle, hvorledes de ville skjule Snarer; de sige: Hvo kan se dem?

7 But God will shoot at them. With an arrow they shall suddenly be wounded.

De udtænke Misgerninger, de fuldkomme, hvad de nøje udtænke: Ja, enhvers Inderste og Hjerte er et Dyb.

8 So they shall be made to stumble, their own tongue being against them. All who see them shall wag the head.

Men Gud skyder paa dem; Pilen kommer hastigt, den bliver deres Saar.

9 And all men shall fear. And they shall declare the work of God, and shall wisely consider of his doing.

Og de skulle falde for deres Tunges Skyld; hver, som ser paa dem, skal fly langt bort.

10 A righteous man shall be glad in Jehovah, and shall take refuge in him. And all the upright in heart shall glory.

Og alle Mennesker skulle frygte og forkynde Guds Gerning og forstaa, at det er hans Værk. Den retfærdige skal glædes i Herren og forlade sig paa ham; og alle oprigtige i Hjertet skulle prise sig lykkelige.
