Psalmi 64

1 Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov. Poslušaj, Bože, moje žalbe glas; od strašna dušmanina život mi čuvaj!

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

2 Štiti me od mnoštva opakih, sakrij od bjesnila zlotvora

Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:

3 koji bruse jezike k'o mačeve, otrovne riječi izbacuju kao strijele,

Who whet their tongue like a sword, [and] bend [their bows to shoot] their arrows, [even] bitter words:

4 da iz potaje rane nedužna, da ga rane iznenada ne bojeć' se ničega.

That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

5 Spremni su na djelo pakosno, snuju kako će kradom zamke staviti i govore: “Tko će nas vidjeti?”

They encourage themselves [in] an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?

6 Snuju zlodjela, smišljene osnove kriju: pamet i srce čovječje bezdan su duboki.

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

7 No Bog ih ranjava strijelom, odjednom ih rane prekriju.

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

8 Vlastiti jezik propast im donosi, kimaju glavom oni što ih vide:

So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.

9 svi se boje, Božje djelo slave i misle o onom što on učini.

And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.

10 Pravednik se raduje u Jahvi, njemu se utječe, i kliču svim srcem čestiti.

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