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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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