Psalms 64
1 God, listen to me as I tell you the things that I am worried about. I am afraid of my enemies; so save/rescue me from them.
Veisuunjohtajalle; Daavidin virsi. Kuule, Jumala, minun ääneni, kun minä valitan, varjele minun elämäni vihollisen pelosta.
2 Protect me from what wicked men are planning to do to me; protect me from that gang of men who do what is evil.
Kätke minut pahain seuralta, väärintekijäin riehuvalta joukolta,
3 The hostile things they say [MTY] are like [SIM] [sharp] swords; their cruel words are like [SIM] arrows.
jotka hiovat kielensä kuin miekan, jännittävät jousensa, nuolinaan karvaat sanat,
4 Without being afraid, they [lie about people and slander people] who have not done what is wrong, like someone who suddenly jumps up from where he is hiding and shoots [arrows] at his enemy [MET].
salaa ampuaksensa nuhteettoman. He ampuvat häntä äkisti eivätkä kavahda.
5 They encourage each other about doing the evil things that they are planning to do; they talk [with each other] about where they can set traps to catch people, and they think, “No one [RHQ] will see what we are doing,
He pysyvät lujina pahoissa aikeissaan, he kehuvat, kuinka he virittävät pauloja, he sanovat: "Kuka ne näkee?"
6 because we have planned very well the crime that we are going to commit!” No one can fully understand what people can think and plan!
He miettivät vääryyksiä: "Meillä on juoni valmiiksi mietittynä". Syvä on miehen sisu ja sydän.
7 But [it will be as though] God will shoot his arrows at them, and suddenly they will be wounded.
Mutta Jumala ampuu heidät nuolella, äkisti kohtaavat heitä iskut.
8 Because of what they say [MTY], he will get rid of them, and then everyone who sees [what has happened to] them will shake their heads [to ridicule them].
He joutuvat kompastukseen, heidän oma kielensä langettaa heidät; kaikki, jotka heidät näkevät, nyökyttävät ilkkuen päätään.
9 And then everyone will be afraid [to sin because of what might happen to them, also]; they will tell others what God has done, and they themselves will think much about it.
Ja kaikki ihmiset peljästyvät; he julistavat Jumalan töitä ja ottavat vaarin hänen teoistansa.
10 Righteous people should rejoice because of what Yahweh [has done]; they should go to him to (find protection/be safe); and all those who are godly will praise him.
Vanhurskas iloitsee Herrassa ja turvaa häneen, ja kaikki oikeamieliset kerskaavat.
