Psalms 64

1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of David. Heare my voyce, O God, in my prayer: preserue my life from feare of the enemie.

Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov. Poslušaj, Bože, moje žalbe glas; od strašna dušmanina život mi čuvaj!

2 Hide me from the conspiracie of the wicked, and from the rage of the workers of iniquitie.

Štiti me od mnoštva opakih, sakrij od bjesnila zlotvora

3 Which haue whette their tongue like a sword, and shot for their arrowes bitter wordes.

koji bruse jezike k'o mačeve, otrovne riječi izbacuju kao strijele,

4 To shoote at the vpright in secrete: they shoote at him suddenly, and feare not.

da iz potaje rane nedužna, da ga rane iznenada ne bojeć' se ničega.

5 They encourage themselues in a wicked purpose: they commune together to lay snares priuilie, and say, Who shall see them?

Spremni su na djelo pakosno, snuju kako će kradom zamke staviti i govore: “Tko će nas vidjeti?”

6 They haue sought out iniquities, and haue accomplished that which they sought out, euen euery one his secret thoughtes, and the depth of his heart.

Snuju zlodjela, smišljene osnove kriju: pamet i srce čovječje bezdan su duboki.

7 But God will shoote an arrowe at them suddenly: their strokes shalbe at once.

No Bog ih ranjava strijelom, odjednom ih rane prekriju.

8 They shall cause their owne tongue to fall vpon them: and whosoeuer shall see them, shall flee away.

Vlastiti jezik propast im donosi, kimaju glavom oni što ih vide:

9 And all men shall see it, and declare the worke of God, and they shall vnderstand, what he hath wrought.

svi se boje, Božje djelo slave i misle o onom što on učini.

10 But the righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and trust in him: and all that are vpright of heart, shall reioyce.

Pravednik se raduje u Jahvi, njemu se utječe, i kliču svim srcem čestiti.
