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,

Til Sangmesteren; en Psalme af David.

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

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

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

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

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

som skærpe deres Tunge som et Sværd; de skyde deres Pil, det bitre Ord,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Og de skulle falde for deres Tunges Skyld; hver, som ser paa dem, skal fly langt bort.

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

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.
