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.

聖歌隊の指揮者によってうたわせたダビデの歌 神よ、わたしが嘆き訴えるとき、わたしの声をお聞きください。敵の恐れからわたしの命をお守りください。

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.

わたしを隠して、悪を行う者のひそかなはかりごとから免れさせ、不義を行う者のはかりごとから免れさせてください。

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

彼らはその舌をつるぎのようにとぎ、苦い言葉を矢のように放ち、

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].

隠れた所から罪なき者を射ようとする。にわかに彼を射て恐れることがない。

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,

彼らは悪い企てを固くたもち、共にはかり、ひそかにわなをかけて言う、「だれがわれらを見破ることができるか。

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!

だれがわれらの罪をたずね出すことができるか。われらは巧みに、はかりごとを考えめぐらしたのだ」と。人の内なる思いと心とは深い。

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

しかし神は矢をもって彼らを射られる。彼らはにわかに傷をうけるであろう。

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].

神は彼らの舌のゆえに彼らを滅ぼされる。彼らを見る者は皆そのこうべを振るであろう。

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.

その時すべての人は恐れ、神のみわざを宣べ伝え、そのなされた事を考えるであろう。

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.

正しい人は主にあって喜び、かつ主に寄り頼む。すべて心の直き者は誇ることができる。
