Psalms 64

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

Načelniku godbe, psalm Davidov. Čuj, o Bog, glas moj, ko premišljujem; strahu sovražnikovega varuj življenje moje.

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

Skrivaj me skrivnemu naklepu hudobnih, ropotanju njih, ki delajo krivico:

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

Ki brusijo kakor meč jezik svoj, napenjajo kakor pušico svojo bridko besedo.

4 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

S kopjem napadajo poštenjaka iz zakotja; nenadoma ga napadajo s kopjem in se ne bojé.

5 They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privately; they say, Who shall see them?

Potrjujejo si reč hudobno; o skrivanji zank govoré; pravijo: Kdo bi jih videl?

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

Preiskujejo krivice; oslabeli smo po tem, kar so tako zvito preiskali; tako globoko je osrčje moža in srce.

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

Ali ko jih bode Bog napadel s kopjem, pušica nagla bodejo njih udarci.

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

In storili bodejo, da sè samim jezikom svojim udarijo sebe; razkropljeni se bodejo spustili v beg, kdorkoli jih bode videl.

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

Katerikoli pa ljudjé se bojé, oznanjali bodo delo Božje in dejanje njegovo stavili pred óči.

10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.

Veselil se bode pravični v Gospodu, in pribežal k njemu; ponašali se bodo vsi, ki so pravega srca.
