Psalms 64

1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. Hear, O God, my voice, in my (meditation) You keep my life from the fear of an enemy,

Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov. Poslušaj, Bože, moje žalbe glas; od strašna dušmanina život mi čuvaj!

2 Hide me from the secret counsel of evildoers, From the tumult of workers of iniquity.

Štiti me od mnoštva opakih, sakrij od bjesnila zlotvora

3 Who sharpened their tongue as a sword, They directed their arrow—a bitter word.

koji bruse jezike k'o mačeve, otrovne riječi izbacuju kao strijele,

4 To shoot the perfect in secret places, Suddenly they shoot him, and do not fear.

da iz potaje rane nedužna, da ga rane iznenada ne bojeć' se ničega.

5 They strengthen an evil thing for themselves, They recount of the hiding of snares, They have said, “Who looks at it?”

Spremni su na djelo pakosno, snuju kako će kradom zamke staviti i govore: “Tko će nas vidjeti?”

6 They search out perverse things, “We perfected a searching search,” And the inward part of man, and the heart, [are] deep.

Snuju zlodjela, smišljene osnove kriju: pamet i srce čovječje bezdan su duboki.

7 And God shoots them [with] an arrow, Their wounds have been sudden,

No Bog ih ranjava strijelom, odjednom ih rane prekriju.

8 And they cause him to stumble, Their own tongue [is] against them, Every looker on them flees away.

Vlastiti jezik propast im donosi, kimaju glavom oni što ih vide:

9 And all men fear, and declare the work of God, And they have wisely considered His deed.

svi se boje, Božje djelo slave i misle o onom što on učini.

10 The righteous rejoice in YHWH, And have trusted in Him, And all the upright of heart boast!

Pravednik se raduje u Jahvi, njemu se utječe, i kliču svim srcem čestiti.
