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,

Poslušaj moj glas, oh Bog, v moji molitvi, varuj moje življenje strahu pred sovražnikom.

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

Skrij me pred skrivnim načrtom hudobnih, pred vstajo delavcev krivičnosti,

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

ki brusijo svoj jezik kakor meč in upogibajo svoje loke, da bi streljali svoje puščice, celó grenke besede,

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

da bi lahko na skrivnem streljali na popolnega. Nenadoma streljajo nanj in se ne bojijo.

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

Med seboj se hrabrijo v zli zadevi. Na skrivaj se posvetujejo o nastavljanju zank; pravijo: »Kdo jih bo videl?«

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

Preiskujejo krivičnosti, dovršijo marljivo iskanje. Notranja misel vsakogar izmed njih in srce, oboje je globoko.

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

Toda Bog bo nanje streljal s puščico, nenadoma bodo ranjeni.

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

Tako bodo dosegli, da bo njihov lastni jezik padel nanje. Vsi, ki jih vidijo, bodo zbežali stran.

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

Vsi ljudje se bodo bali in bodo oznanjali Božje delo, kajti o njegovem dejanju bodo modro preudarjali.

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

Pravični bodo veseli v Gospodu in bodo zaupali vanj in vsi iskreni v srcu bodo ponosni.
