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.

Untuk pemimpin biduan. Mazmur Daud. Ya Allah, dengarlah suaraku pada waktu aku mengaduh, jagalah nyawaku terhadap musuh yang dahsyat.

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.

Sembunyikanlah aku terhadap persepakatan orang jahat, terhadap kerusuhan orang-orang yang melakukan kejahatan,

3 The hostile things they say [MTY] are like [SIM] [sharp] swords; their cruel words are like [SIM] arrows.

yang menajamkan lidahnya seperti pedang, yang membidikkan kata yang pahit seperti panah,

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].

untuk menembak orang yang tulus hati dari tempat yang tersembunyi; sekonyong-konyong mereka menembak dia dengan tidak takut-takut.

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,

Mereka berpegang teguh pada maksud yang jahat, mereka membicarakan hendak memasang perangkap dengan sembunyi; kata mereka: "Siapa yang melihatnya?"

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!

Mereka merancang kecurangan-kecurangan: "Kami sudah siap, rancangan sudah rampung." Alangkah dalamnya batin dan hati orang!

7 But [it will be as though] God will shoot his arrows at them, and suddenly they will be wounded.

Tetapi Allah menembak mereka dengan panah; sekonyong-konyong mereka terluka.

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].

Ia membuat mereka tergelincir karena lidah mereka; setiap orang yang melihat mereka menggeleng kepala.

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.

Maka semua orang takut dan memberitakan perbuatan Allah, dan mengakui pekerjaan-Nya.

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.

Orang benar akan bersukacita karena TUHAN dan berlindung pada-Nya; semua orang yang jujur akan bermegah.
