Psalms 64

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. Hear my voice, God, in my complaint. Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

MAIN Kot, kotin ereki nil ai ni ai injenjued. Kom kotin jinjila maur i mon ai imwintiti weit.

2 Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the noisy crowd of the ones doing evil;

Kom kotin karuki ia la jan mon pokon en me jued akan, mon pwin en me wia japun kan.

3 who sharpen their tongue like a sword, and aim their arrows, deadly words,

Me kin ada lo’rail dueta kodlaj pot, o me kaonopada ar kajik katieu, iei ar lokaia jued,

4 to shoot innocent men from ambushes. They shoot at him suddenly and fearlessly.

Pwen rir kajikiedi me lelapok o; madan re pan kajikiedi i, o jota injenoki.

5 They encourage themselves in evil plans. They talk about laying snares secretly. They say, “Who will see them?”

Irail me weit ni ar tiak jued, o re kin inda, duen ar pan injar, o re kin inda: Ij me pan kak kilan?

6 They plot injustice, saying, “We have made a perfect plan!” Surely man’s mind and heart are cunning.

Irail kin madamadaua duen me jued. Kitail kapwaiadar, karoj kileledier. Monion en aramaj me widin o meid koiok ni morjued.

7 But God will shoot at them. They will be suddenly struck down with an arrow.

A Kot pan kotin kajik ir edi madan, pwen kamadak on ir.

8 Their own tongues shall ruin them. All who see them will shake their heads.

Pein lo arail pan kapup ir edi, o karoj, me pan kilan, pan kaurureki.

9 All mankind shall be afraid. They shall declare the work of God, and shall wisely ponder what he has done.

O aramaj karoj pan majak o inda: Mepukat Kot kotin wiadar. O re pan aja, me i japwilim a dodok.

10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall take refuge in him. All the upright in heart shall praise him!

Me pun o pan perenki Ieowa, o pan liki i, o me lelapok kan karoj pan pereperen.
