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 my voice, O God, in my complaint: preserve my life from the dread 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 assault of the workers of wickedness;

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, who aim with their arrow, the bitter word:

4 da bi lahko na skrivnem streljali na popolnega. Nenadoma streljajo nanj in se ne bojijo.

To shoot in secret at the innocent; 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 plan; they tell secretly of laying snares: they say, Who will see them?

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

They search out iniquities; “We are ready with the carefully searched out device:” and the inward thought and heart of each is deeply [hidden].

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

But God shooteth at them suddenly [his] arrow; —[thence] are come their wounds.

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

And their own tongues will stumble over themselves: all that look on them will shake their head.

9 Vsi ljudje se bodo bali in bodo oznanjali Božje delo, kajti o njegovem dejanju bodo modro preudarjali.

All men shall fear, and shall declare the deeds of God, and understand his works.

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

The righteous shall rejoice in the Lord, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glorify themselves.
