Psalms 64

1 For the end, a Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O God, when I make my petition to you; deliver my soul from fear of the enemy.

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

2 You have sheltered me from the conspiracy of them that do wickedly; from the multitude of them that work iniquity;

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

3 who have sharpened their tongues as a sword; they have bent their bow maliciously;

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

4 to shoot in secret at the blameless; they will shoot him suddenly, and will not fear.

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

5 They have set up for themselves an evil matter, they have given counsel to hide snares; they have said, Who shall see them?

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

6 They have searched out iniquity; they have wearied themselves with searching diligently, a man shall approach and the heart is deep,

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

7 and God shall be exalted, their wounds were [caused by] the weapon of the foolish children,

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

8 and their tongues have set him at nothing, all that saw them were troubled;

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

9 and every man was alarmed, and they related the works of God, and understood his deeds.

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

10 The righteous shall rejoice in the Lord, and hope on him, and all the upright in heart shall be praised.

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