< Psalmi 64 >

1 Poslušaj moj glas, oh Bog, v moji molitvi, varuj moje življenje strahu pred sovražnikom.
To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Hear, O God, my voice in my plaint; preserve my life from fear of the enemy:
2 Skrij me pred skrivnim načrtom hudobnih, pred vstajo delavcev krivičnosti,
Hide me from the secret counsel of evil-doers, from the tumultuous crowd of the workers of iniquity,
3 ki brusijo svoj jezik kakor meč in upogibajo svoje loke, da bi streljali svoje puščice, celó grenke besede,
Who have sharpened their tongue like a sword, [and] have aimed their arrow, a bitter word;
4 da bi lahko na skrivnem streljali na popolnega. Nenadoma streljajo nanj in se ne bojijo.
That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
5 Med seboj se hrabrijo v zli zadevi. Na skrivaj se posvetujejo o nastavljanju zank; pravijo: »Kdo jih bo videl?«
They encourage themselves in an evil matter, they concert to hide snares; they say, Who will see them?
6 Preiskujejo krivičnosti, dovršijo marljivo iskanje. Notranja misel vsakogar izmed njih in srce, oboje je globoko.
They devise iniquities: We have it ready, the plan is diligently sought out. And each one's inward [thought] and heart is deep.
7 Toda Bog bo nanje streljal s puščico, nenadoma bodo ranjeni.
But God will shoot an arrow at them: suddenly are they wounded;
8 Tako bodo dosegli, da bo njihov lastni jezik padel nanje. Vsi, ki jih vidijo, bodo zbežali stran.
By their own tongue they are made to fall over one another: all that see them shall flee away.
9 Vsi ljudje se bodo bali in bodo oznanjali Božje delo, kajti o njegovem dejanju bodo modro preudarjali.
And all men shall fear, and shall declare God's doing; and they shall wisely consider his work.
10 Pravični bodo veseli v Gospodu in bodo zaupali vanj in vsi iskreni v srcu bodo ponosni.
The righteous shall rejoice in Jehovah, and trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
