Psalmi 64

1 Poslušaj moj glas, oh Bog, v moji molitvi, varuj moje življenje strahu pred sovražnikom.

HEAR my voice, O God, in my prayer: 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 the wicked; from the insurrection 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 whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:

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 commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?

6 Preiskujejo krivičnosti, dovršijo marljivo iskanje. Notranja misel vsakogar izmed njih in srce, oboje je globoko.

They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.

7 Toda Bog bo nanje streljal s puščico, nenadoma bodo ranjeni.

But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.

8 Tako bodo dosegli, da bo njihov lastni jezik padel nanje. Vsi, ki jih vidijo, bodo zbežali stran.

So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: 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 the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.

10 Pravični bodo veseli v Gospodu in bodo zaupali vanj in vsi iskreni v srcu bodo ponosni.

The righteous shall be glad in the Lord, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
