Psalms 64

1 [For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] Hear my voice, God, in my complaint. Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

Načelniku godbe, psalm Davidov. Čuj, o Bog, glas moj, ko premišljujem; strahu sovražnikovega varuj življenje moje.

2 Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the noisy crowd of the ones doing evil;

Skrivaj me skrivnemu naklepu hudobnih, ropotanju njih, ki delajo krivico:

3 who sharpen their tongue like a sword, and aim their arrows, deadly words,

Ki brusijo kakor meč jezik svoj, napenjajo kakor pušico svojo bridko besedo.

4 to shoot innocent men from ambushes. They shoot at him suddenly and fearlessly.

S kopjem napadajo poštenjaka iz zakotja; nenadoma ga napadajo s kopjem in se ne bojé.

5 They encourage themselves in evil plans. They talk about laying snares secretly. They say, "Who will see them?"

Potrjujejo si reč hudobno; o skrivanji zank govoré; pravijo: Kdo bi jih videl?

6 They plot injustice; they hide a well-conceived plan. Surely man's mind and heart are cunning.

Preiskujejo krivice; oslabeli smo po tem, kar so tako zvito preiskali; tako globoko je osrčje moža in srce.

7 But God will shoot at them. They will be suddenly struck down with an arrow.

Ali ko jih bode Bog napadel s kopjem, pušica nagla bodejo njih udarci.

8 Their own tongues shall ruin them. All who see them will shake their heads.

In storili bodejo, da sè samim jezikom svojim udarijo sebe; razkropljeni se bodejo spustili v beg, kdorkoli jih bode videl.

9 All humankind shall be afraid. They shall declare the work of God, and shall wisely ponder what he has done.

Katerikoli pa ljudjé se bojé, oznanjali bodo delo Božje in dejanje njegovo stavili pred óči.

10 The righteous shall be glad in Jehovah, and shall take refuge in him. All the upright in heart shall praise him.

Veselil se bode pravični v Gospodu, in pribežal k njemu; ponašali se bodo vsi, ki so pravega srca.
