Psalms 64

1 For the end, a Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O God, when I make my petition to you; deliver my soul from fear of the enemy.

Načelniku godbe, psalm Davidov. Čuj, o Bog, glas moj, ko premišljujem; strahu sovražnikovega varuj življenje moje.

2 You have sheltered me from the conspiracy of them that do wickedly; from the multitude of them that work iniquity;

Skrivaj me skrivnemu naklepu hudobnih, ropotanju njih, ki delajo krivico:

3 who have sharpened their tongues as a sword; they have bent their bow maliciously;

Ki brusijo kakor meč jezik svoj, napenjajo kakor pušico svojo bridko besedo.

4 to shoot in secret at the blameless; they will shoot him suddenly, and will not fear.

S kopjem napadajo poštenjaka iz zakotja; nenadoma ga napadajo s kopjem in se ne bojé.

5 They have set up for themselves an evil matter, they have given counsel to hide snares; they have said, Who shall see them?

Potrjujejo si reč hudobno; o skrivanji zank govoré; pravijo: Kdo bi jih videl?

6 They have searched out iniquity; they have wearied themselves with searching diligently, a man shall approach and the heart is deep,

Preiskujejo krivice; oslabeli smo po tem, kar so tako zvito preiskali; tako globoko je osrčje moža in srce.

7 and God shall be exalted, their wounds were [caused by] the weapon of the foolish children,

Ali ko jih bode Bog napadel s kopjem, pušica nagla bodejo njih udarci.

8 and their tongues have set him at nothing, all that saw them were troubled;

In storili bodejo, da sè samim jezikom svojim udarijo sebe; razkropljeni se bodejo spustili v beg, kdorkoli jih bode videl.

9 and every man was alarmed, and they related the works of God, and understood his deeds.

Katerikoli pa ljudjé se bojé, oznanjali bodo delo Božje in dejanje njegovo stavili pred óči.

10 The righteous shall rejoice in the Lord, and hope on him, and all the upright in heart shall be praised.

Veselil se bode pravični v Gospodu, in pribežal k njemu; ponašali se bodo vsi, ki so pravega srca.
