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.

Poslušaj moj glas, oh Bog, v moji molitvi, varuj moje življenje strahu pred sovražnikom.

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

Skrij me pred skrivnim načrtom hudobnih, pred vstajo delavcev krivičnosti,

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

ki brusijo svoj jezik kakor meč in upogibajo svoje loke, da bi streljali svoje puščice, celó grenke besede,

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

da bi lahko na skrivnem streljali na popolnega. Nenadoma streljajo nanj in se ne bojijo.

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

Med seboj se hrabrijo v zli zadevi. Na skrivaj se posvetujejo o nastavljanju zank; pravijo: »Kdo jih bo videl?«

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

Preiskujejo krivičnosti, dovršijo marljivo iskanje. Notranja misel vsakogar izmed njih in srce, oboje je globoko.

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

Toda Bog bo nanje streljal s puščico, nenadoma bodo ranjeni.

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

Tako bodo dosegli, da bo njihov lastni jezik padel nanje. Vsi, ki jih vidijo, bodo zbežali stran.

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

Vsi ljudje se bodo bali in bodo oznanjali Božje delo, kajti o njegovem dejanju bodo modro preudarjali.

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

Pravični bodo veseli v Gospodu in bodo zaupali vanj in vsi iskreni v srcu bodo ponosni.
