Psalmien 64
1 Veisuunjohtajalle; Daavidin virsi. Kuule, Jumala, minun ääneni, kun minä valitan, varjele minun elämäni vihollisen pelosta.
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.
2 Kätke minut pahain seuralta, väärintekijäin riehuvalta joukolta,
Protect me from what wicked men are planning to do to me; protect me from that gang of men who do what is evil.
3 jotka hiovat kielensä kuin miekan, jännittävät jousensa, nuolinaan karvaat sanat,
The hostile things they say [MTY] are like [SIM] [sharp] swords; their cruel words are like [SIM] arrows.
4 salaa ampuaksensa nuhteettoman. He ampuvat häntä äkisti eivätkä kavahda.
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].
5 He pysyvät lujina pahoissa aikeissaan, he kehuvat, kuinka he virittävät pauloja, he sanovat: "Kuka ne näkee?"
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,
6 He miettivät vääryyksiä: "Meillä on juoni valmiiksi mietittynä". Syvä on miehen sisu ja sydän.
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!
7 Mutta Jumala ampuu heidät nuolella, äkisti kohtaavat heitä iskut.
But [it will be as though] God will shoot his arrows at them, and suddenly they will be wounded.
8 He joutuvat kompastukseen, heidän oma kielensä langettaa heidät; kaikki, jotka heidät näkevät, nyökyttävät ilkkuen päätään.
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].
9 Ja kaikki ihmiset peljästyvät; he julistavat Jumalan töitä ja ottavat vaarin hänen teoistansa.
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.
10 Vanhurskas iloitsee Herrassa ja turvaa häneen, ja kaikki oikeamieliset kerskaavat.
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.
