Psalmi 64

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

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 Skrij me pred skrivnim načrtom hudobnih, pred vstajo delavcev krivičnosti,

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 ki brusijo svoj jezik kakor meč in upogibajo svoje loke, da bi streljali svoje puščice, celó grenke besede,

The hostile things they say [MTY] are like [SIM] [sharp] swords; their cruel words are like [SIM] arrows.

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

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 Med seboj se hrabrijo v zli zadevi. Na skrivaj se posvetujejo o nastavljanju zank; pravijo: »Kdo jih bo videl?«

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

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

But [it will be as though] God will shoot his arrows at them, and suddenly they will be wounded.

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

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

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

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.
