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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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