< Psalms 64 >

1 Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit. Yaa Waaqi, yommuu ani iyyadhu sagalee koo dhagaʼi; lubbuu koos doorsisuu diinaa duraa baasi.
2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
Marii jalʼootaa duraa, mala namoota hamoo duraas na dhoksi.
3 Who sharpen their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
Isaan arraba isaanii akka goraadee qaratan; dubbii hadhaaʼaas akkuma xiyyaatti qopheeffatu.
4 That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
Isaan riphanii nama yakka hin qabnetti futtaasu; akkuma tasaas sodaa malee itti gad dhiisu.
5 They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privately; they say, Who shall see them?
Kaayyoo jalʼinaa irratti wal jajjabeessu; waaʼee dhoksanii kiyyoo kaaʼuus ni mariʼatu; “Eenyutu isa arguu dandaʼa?” jedhaniis ni yaadu.
6 They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.
Isaanis jalʼina yaaduudhaan, “Nu mala hirʼina hin qabne malanneerra!” jedhu; yaadnii fi keessi garaa namaa gad fagoodhaatii.
7 But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.
Waaqni garuu xiyya isaa isaanitti futtaasa; isaanis akkuma tasaa madaaʼu.
8 So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.
Innis arrabuma isaaniin isaan balleessa; warri isaan argan hundinuu tuffiidhaan mataa raasu.
9 And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.
Namoonni hundinuu ni sodaatu; isaan hojii Waaqaa ni labsu; waan inni hojjete illee ni qalbeeffatu.
10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
Namni qajeelaan Waaqayyotti gammada; isattis kooluu gala; gara toleeyyiin hundinuu isaan ulfina argatu.
