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,

Èuj, Bože, glas moj u jadu mom; od strašnoga neprijatelja saèuvaj život moj.

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

Sakrij me od gomile bezakonika, od èete zloèinaca,

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

Koji naoštriše jezik svoj kao maè, strijeljaju rijeèima, koje zadaju rane,

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

Da bi iz potaje ubili pravoga. Iznenada udaraju na nj i ne boje se;

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

Utvrðuju sebe u zlijem namjerama, dogovaraju se kako æe zamke sakriti, vele: ko æe ih vidjeti?

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

Izmišljaju zloèinstva i govore: svršeno je! šta æe se raditi, smišljeno je! A što je unutra i srce u èovjeka duboko je.

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

Ali æe ih Bog poraziti; udariæe ih strijela iznenada.

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

Oboriæe jedan drugoga jezikom svojim. Ko ih god vidi, bježaæe od njih.

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

Svi æe se ljudi bojati i kazivaæe èudo Božije, i poznaæe u tome djelo njegovo.

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

A pravednik æe se veseliti o Gospodu i uzdaæe se u njega, i hvaliæe se svi koji su prava srca.
