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,

Načelniku godbe, psalm Davidov. Čuj, o Bog, glas moj, ko premišljujem; strahu sovražnikovega varuj življenje moje.

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

Skrivaj me skrivnemu naklepu hudobnih, ropotanju njih, ki delajo krivico:

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

Ki brusijo kakor meč jezik svoj, napenjajo kakor pušico svojo bridko besedo.

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

S kopjem napadajo poštenjaka iz zakotja; nenadoma ga napadajo s kopjem in se ne bojé.

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

Potrjujejo si reč hudobno; o skrivanji zank govoré; pravijo: Kdo bi jih videl?

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

Preiskujejo krivice; oslabeli smo po tem, kar so tako zvito preiskali; tako globoko je osrčje moža in srce.

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

Ali ko jih bode Bog napadel s kopjem, pušica nagla bodejo njih udarci.

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

In storili bodejo, da sè samim jezikom svojim udarijo sebe; razkropljeni se bodejo spustili v beg, kdorkoli jih bode videl.

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

Katerikoli pa ljudjé se bojé, oznanjali bodo delo Božje in dejanje njegovo stavili pred óči.

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

Veselil se bode pravični v Gospodu, in pribežal k njemu; ponašali se bodo vsi, ki so pravega srca.
