< 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.
Poslušaj moj glas, oh Bog, v moji molitvi, varuj moje življenje strahu pred sovražnikom.
2 Hide me from the conspiracie of the wicked, and from the rage of the workers of iniquitie.
Skrij me pred skrivnim načrtom hudobnih, pred vstajo delavcev krivičnosti,
3 Which haue whette their tongue like a sword, and shot for their arrowes bitter wordes.
ki brusijo svoj jezik kakor meč in upogibajo svoje loke, da bi streljali svoje puščice, celó grenke besede,
4 To shoote at the vpright in secrete: they shoote at him suddenly, and feare not.
da bi lahko na skrivnem streljali na popolnega. Nenadoma streljajo nanj in se ne bojijo.
5 They encourage themselues in a wicked purpose: they commune together to lay snares priuilie, and say, 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 haue sought out iniquities, and haue accomplished that which they sought out, euen euery one his secret thoughtes, and the depth of his heart.
Preiskujejo krivičnosti, dovršijo marljivo iskanje. Notranja misel vsakogar izmed njih in srce, oboje je globoko.
7 But God will shoote an arrowe at them suddenly: their strokes shalbe at once.
Toda Bog bo nanje streljal s puščico, nenadoma bodo ranjeni.
8 They shall cause their owne tongue to fall vpon them: and whosoeuer shall see them, shall flee away.
Tako bodo dosegli, da bo njihov lastni jezik padel nanje. Vsi, ki jih vidijo, bodo zbežali stran.
9 And all men shall see it, and declare the worke of God, and they shall vnderstand, what he hath wrought.
Vsi ljudje se bodo bali in bodo oznanjali Božje delo, kajti o njegovem dejanju bodo modro preudarjali.
10 But the righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and trust in him: and all that are vpright of heart, shall reioyce.
Pravični bodo veseli v Gospodu in bodo zaupali vanj in vsi iskreni v srcu bodo ponosni.
