Psalms 64

1 To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. Hear, O God, my voice, in my (meditation) From the fear of an enemy Thou keepest my life,

Èuj, Bože, glas moj u jadu mom; od strašnoga neprijatelja saèuvaj život moj.

2 Hidest me from the secret counsel of evil doers, From the tumult of workers of iniquity.

Sakrij me od gomile bezakonika, od èete zloèinaca,

3 Who sharpened as a sword their tongue, They directed their arrow — a bitter word.

Koji naoštriše jezik svoj kao maè, strijeljaju rijeèima, koje zadaju rane,

4 To shoot in secret places the perfect, Suddenly they shoot him, and fear not.

Da bi iz potaje ubili pravoga. Iznenada udaraju na nj i ne boje se;

5 They strengthen for themselves an evil thing, They recount of the hiding of snares, They have said, 'Who doth look at it?'

Utvrðuju sebe u zlijem namjerama, dogovaraju se kako æe zamke sakriti, vele: ko æe ih vidjeti?

6 They search out perverse things, 'We perfected a searching search,' And the inward part of man, and the heart [are] deep.

Izmišljaju zloèinstva i govore: svršeno je! šta æe se raditi, smišljeno je! A što je unutra i srce u èovjeka duboko je.

7 And God doth shoot them [with] an arrow, Sudden have been their wounds,

Ali æe ih Bog poraziti; udariæe ih strijela iznenada.

8 And they cause him to stumble, Against them [is] their own tongue, Every looker on them fleeth away.

Oboriæe jedan drugoga jezikom svojim. Ko ih god vidi, bježaæe od njih.

9 And all men fear, and declare the work of God, And His deed they have considered wisely.

Svi æe se ljudi bojati i kazivaæe èudo Božije, i poznaæe u tome djelo njegovo.

10 The righteous doth rejoice in Jehovah, And hath trusted in Him, And boast themselves do all the upright of heart!

A pravednik æe se veseliti o Gospodu i uzdaæe se u njega, i hvaliæe se svi koji su prava srca.
