< 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.
Ein Psalm Davids, vorzusingen. Höre, Gott, meine Stimme in meiner Klage; behüte mein Leben vor dem grausamen Feinde!
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.
Verbirg mich vor der Sammlung der Bösen, vor dem Haufen der Übeltäter,
3 The hostile things they say [MTY] are like [SIM] [sharp] swords; their cruel words are like [SIM] arrows.
welche ihre Zunge schärfen wie ein Schwert, die mit ihren giftigen Worten zielen wie mit Pfeilen,
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].
daß sie heimlich schießen den Frommen; plötzlich schießen sie auf ihn ohne alle Scheu.
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,
Sie sind kühn mit ihren bösen Anschlägen und sagen, wie sie Stricke legen wollen, und sprechen: Wer kann sie sehen?
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!
Sie erdichten Schalkheit und halten's heimlich, sind verschlagen und haben geschwinde Ränke.
7 But [it will be as though] God will shoot his arrows at them, and suddenly they will be wounded.
Aber Gott wird sie plötzlich schießen, daß ihnen wehe tun wird.
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].
Ihre eigene Zunge wird sie fällen, daß ihrer spotten wird, wer sie siehet.
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.
Und alle Menschen, die es sehen, werden sagen: Das hat Gott getan, und merken, daß es sein Werk sei.
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.
