Psalms 64

1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David. Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; preserve my life from the terror of the enemy.

Til Sangmesteren; en Psalme af David.

2 Hide me from the council of evil-doers; from the tumult of the workers of iniquity;

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

3 Who have whet their tongue like a sword, and have aimed their arrow, a poisoned word;

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

4 That they may shoot in secret places at the blameless; suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

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

5 They encourage one another in an evil matter; they converse of laying snares secretly; they ask, who would see them.

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

6 They search out iniquities, they have accomplished a diligent search; even in the inward thought of every one, and the deep heart.

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

7 But God doth shoot at them with an arrow suddenly; thence are their wounds.

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

8 So they make their own tongue a stumbling unto themselves; all that see them shake the head.

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

9 And all men fear; and they declare the work of God, and understand His doing.

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

10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall take refuge in Him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.

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.
