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,

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 evildoers, From the tumult of workers of iniquity.

Marii jalʼootaa duraa, mala namoota hamoo duraas na dhoksi.

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

Isaan arraba isaanii akka goraadee qaratan; dubbii hadhaaʼaas akkuma xiyyaatti qopheeffatu.

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

Isaan riphanii nama yakka hin qabnetti futtaasu; akkuma tasaas sodaa malee itti gad dhiisu.

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

Kaayyoo jalʼinaa irratti wal jajjabeessu; waaʼee dhoksanii kiyyoo kaaʼuus ni mariʼatu; “Eenyutu isa arguu dandaʼa?” jedhaniis ni yaadu.

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

Isaanis jalʼina yaaduudhaan, “Nu mala hirʼina hin qabne malanneerra!” jedhu; yaadnii fi keessi garaa namaa gad fagoodhaatii.

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

Waaqni garuu xiyya isaa isaanitti futtaasa; isaanis akkuma tasaa madaaʼu.

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

Innis arrabuma isaaniin isaan balleessa; warri isaan argan hundinuu tuffiidhaan mataa raasu.

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

Namoonni hundinuu ni sodaatu; isaan hojii Waaqaa ni labsu; waan inni hojjete illee ni qalbeeffatu.

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

Namni qajeelaan Waaqayyotti gammada; isattis kooluu gala; gara toleeyyiin hundinuu isaan ulfina argatu.
