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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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