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.

Èuj, Bože, glas moj u jadu mom; od strašnoga neprijatelja saèuvaj život moj.

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

Sakrij me od gomile bezakonika, od èete zloèinaca,

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

Koji naoštriše jezik svoj kao maè, strijeljaju rijeèima, koje zadaju rane,

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

Da bi iz potaje ubili pravoga. Iznenada udaraju na nj i ne boje se;

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

Utvrðuju sebe u zlijem namjerama, dogovaraju se kako æe zamke sakriti, vele: ko æe ih vidjeti?

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.

Izmišljaju zloèinstva i govore: svršeno je! šta æe se raditi, smišljeno je! A što je unutra i srce u èovjeka duboko je.

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

Ali æe ih Bog poraziti; udariæe ih strijela iznenada.

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

Oboriæe jedan drugoga jezikom svojim. Ko ih god vidi, bježaæe od njih.

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

Svi æe se ljudi bojati i kazivaæe èudo Božije, i poznaæe u tome djelo njegovo.

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

A pravednik æe se veseliti o Gospodu i uzdaæe se u njega, i hvaliæe se svi koji su prava srca.
