Psalms 64

1 Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

Til Sangmesteren; en Psalme af David.

2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:

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

3 Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:

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

4 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: 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 themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privately; they say, Who shall see them?

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

6 They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.

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

7 But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.

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

8 So they shall make their own tongue to fall on themselves: all that see them shall flee away.

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

9 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of 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 trust 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.
