Psalms 64

1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Hear, O God, my voice of complaint; preserve my life from dread of the enemy.

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

2 Hide me from the scheming of the wicked, from the mob of workers of iniquity,

Štiti me od mnoštva opakih, sakrij od bjesnila zlotvora

3 who sharpen their tongues like swords and aim their bitter words like arrows,

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

4 ambushing the innocent in seclusion, shooting suddenly, without fear.

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

5 They hold fast to their evil purpose; they speak of hiding their snares. “Who will see them?” they say.

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

6 They devise injustice and say, “We have perfected a secret plan.” For the inner man and the heart are mysterious.

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

7 But God will shoot them with arrows; suddenly they will be wounded.

No Bog ih ranjava strijelom, odjednom ih rane prekriju.

8 They will be made to stumble, their own tongues turned against them. All who see will shake their heads.

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

9 Then all mankind will fear and proclaim the work of God; so they will ponder what He has done.

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

10 Let the righteous rejoice in the LORD and take refuge in Him; let all the upright in heart exult.

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