Psalm 64
1 [Psalm lal David] O God, porongo pre luk, tuh nga muta in ongoiya! Moliyula tuh nga sangeng sin mwet lokoalok luk!
For the music director. A psalm of David. God, please listen to my complaint. Protect me because my enemies scare me.
2 Langoeyula liki pwapa lukma lun mwet sulallal, Ac liki u lulap lun mwet koluk.
Shelter me from the plots of the wicked, from this evil mob.
3 Elos teim lohulos oana cutlass, Ac akoo in pisrik kas kutasrik lalos oana sukan pisr.
What they say cuts like swords; they fire off poisonous words like arrows.
4 Elos sa na in fahkelik kaskas kikiap lalos; Elos kunausla mwet wo ke kaskas in akkoluk lalos.
They shoot from their hiding places at innocent people—doing this without warning, not afraid of being caught.
5 Elos akkeye sie sin sie ke pwapa lukma lalos; Elos pwapani lah elos ac filiya oya mwe kwasrip lalos, Ac fahk, “Wangin mwet ac ku in liye.”
They encourage one another to do evil, planning how to secretly trap people, telling themselves, “Nobody will notice.”
6 Elos oru pwapa koluk lalos ac fahk, “Lemlem na wowo se pa kut orala inge!” Nunak ac insien mwet uh ma lukma!
They plot wicked things. “What a great plan we've created!” they say. There are no limits to the depths to which human minds and thoughts can sink.
7 Tusruktu God El pisrki pisr natul nu kaclos Ac elos kineta in pacl sa na.
But God will shoot them with arrows; all of a sudden they will be wounded.
8 El ac fah kunauselosla ke sripen kas lalos; Mwet nukewa su liye ma inge elos fah usruk sifalos.
What they themselves say will trip them up; people who see them will mock them, shaking their heads at them.
9 Elos nukewa ac fah sangeng; Elos ac nunku yohk ke ma God El oru inge Ac srumun ma El orala.
Then everyone will be frightened. They will say that this is the work of God, and they will think about what he has done.
10 Mwet suwoswos nukewa elos ac fah enganak Ke sripen ma LEUM GOD El oru. Elos ac fah konauk moul misla in El; Mwet wo nukewa elos ac fah kaksakunul.
Those who are right with the Lord will be happy in him, they will go to him for protection. Those who live right will praise him.
