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.
«Εις τον πρώτον μουσικόν. Ψαλμός του Δαβίδ.» Άκουσον, Θεέ, της φωνής μου εν τη δεήσει μου· από του φόβου του εχθρού φύλαξον την ζωήν μου.
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.
Σκέπασόν με από συμβουλίου πονηρών, από φρυάγματος εργαζομένων ανομίαν·
3 The hostile things they say [MTY] are like [SIM] [sharp] swords; their cruel words are like [SIM] arrows.
οίτινες ακονώσιν ως ρομφαίαν την γλώσσαν αυτών· ετοιμάζουσιν ως βέλη λόγους πικρούς,
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].
διά να τοξεύωσι κρυφίως τον άμεμπτον· εξαίφνης τοξεύουσιν αυτόν και δεν φοβούνται.
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,
Στερεούνται επί πονηρού πράγματος· μελετώσι να κρύπτωσι παγίδας, λέγοντες, Τις θέλει ιδεί αυτούς;
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!
Ανιχνεύουσιν ανομίας· απέκαμον ανιχνεύοντες επιμελώς· εκάστου δε τα εντός και η καρδία είναι βυθός.
7 But [it will be as though] God will shoot his arrows at them, and suddenly they will be wounded.
Αλλ' ο Θεός θέλει τοξεύσει αυτούς· από αιφνιδίου βέλους θέλουσιν είσθαι αι πληγαί αυτών.
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].
Και οι λόγοι της γλώσσης αυτών θέλουσι πέσει επ' αυτού· θέλουσι φεύγει πάντες οι βλέποντες αυτούς.
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.
Και θέλει φοβηθή πας άνθρωπος, και θέλουσι διηγηθή το έργον του Θεού και εννοήσει τας εργασίας αυτού.
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.
Ο δίκαιος θέλει ευφρανθή εις τον Κύριον και θέλει ελπίζει επ' αυτόν· και θέλουσι καυχάσθαι πάντες οι ευθείς την καρδίαν.
