Psalms 64

1 To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. O God, let the voice of my grief come to your ear: keep my life from the fear of those who are against me.

Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit. Yaa Waaqi, yommuu ani iyyadhu sagalee koo dhagaʼi; lubbuu koos doorsisuu diinaa duraa baasi.

2 Keep me safe from the secret purpose of wrongdoers; from the band of the workers of evil;

Marii jalʼootaa duraa, mala namoota hamoo duraas na dhoksi.

3 Who make their tongues sharp like a sword, and whose arrows are pointed, even bitter words;

Isaan arraba isaanii akka goraadee qaratan; dubbii hadhaaʼaas akkuma xiyyaatti qopheeffatu.

4 So that in secret they may let loose their arrows at the upright, suddenly and unseen.

Isaan riphanii nama yakka hin qabnetti futtaasu; akkuma tasaas sodaa malee itti gad dhiisu.

5 They make themselves strong in an evil purpose; they make holes for secret nets; they say, Who will see it,

Kaayyoo jalʼinaa irratti wal jajjabeessu; waaʼee dhoksanii kiyyoo kaaʼuus ni mariʼatu; “Eenyutu isa arguu dandaʼa?” jedhaniis ni yaadu.

6 Or make discovery of our secret purpose? The design is framed with care; and the inner thought of a man, and his heart, is deep.

Isaanis jalʼina yaaduudhaan, “Nu mala hirʼina hin qabne malanneerra!” jedhu; yaadnii fi keessi garaa namaa gad fagoodhaatii.

7 But God sends out an arrow against them; suddenly they are wounded.

Waaqni garuu xiyya isaa isaanitti futtaasa; isaanis akkuma tasaa madaaʼu.

8 The evil of their tongues is the cause of their fall; all those who see them are shaking their heads at them.

Innis arrabuma isaaniin isaan balleessa; warri isaan argan hundinuu tuffiidhaan mataa raasu.

9 And in fear men make public the works of God; and giving thought to his acts they get wisdom.

Namoonni hundinuu ni sodaatu; isaan hojii Waaqaa ni labsu; waan inni hojjete illee ni qalbeeffatu.

10 The upright will be glad in the Lord and have hope in him; and all the lovers of righteousness will give him glory.

Namni qajeelaan Waaqayyotti gammada; isattis kooluu gala; gara toleeyyiin hundinuu isaan ulfina argatu.
