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.

Til Sangmesteren; en Psalme af David.

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

Gud! hør min Røst i min Klage, bevar mit Liv fra Fjendens frygtelige Magt.

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

Skjul mig for de ondes lønlige Raad, for deres Forsamling, som gøre Uret,

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

som skærpe deres Tunge som et Sværd; de skyde deres Pil, det bitre Ord,

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

for i Skjul at skyde den retsindige; hastelig skyde de paa ham og frygte ikke.

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.

De styrke sig i deres onde Handel, de fortælle, hvorledes de ville skjule Snarer; de sige: Hvo kan se dem?

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

De udtænke Misgerninger, de fuldkomme, hvad de nøje udtænke: Ja, enhvers Inderste og Hjerte er et Dyb.

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

Men Gud skyder paa dem; Pilen kommer hastigt, den bliver deres Saar.

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

Og de skulle falde for deres Tunges Skyld; hver, som ser paa dem, skal fly langt bort.

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

Og alle Mennesker skulle frygte og forkynde Guds Gerning og forstaa, at det er hans Værk. Den retfærdige skal glædes i Herren og forlade sig paa ham; og alle oprigtige i Hjertet skulle prise sig lykkelige.
