Psalmi 64

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

TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. Hear, O God, my voice, in my (meditation) You keep my life from the fear of an enemy,

2 Štiti me od mnoštva opakih, sakrij od bjesnila zlotvora

Hide me from the secret counsel of evildoers, From the tumult of workers of iniquity.

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

Who sharpened their tongue as a sword, They directed their arrow—a bitter word.

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

To shoot the perfect in secret places, Suddenly they shoot him, and do not fear.

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

They strengthen an evil thing for themselves, They recount of the hiding of snares, They have said, “Who looks at it?”

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

They search out perverse things, “We perfected a searching search,” And the inward part of man, and the heart, [are] deep.

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

And God shoots them [with] an arrow, Their wounds have been sudden,

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

And they cause him to stumble, Their own tongue [is] against them, Every looker on them flees away.

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

And all men fear, and declare the work of God, And they have wisely considered His deed.

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

The righteous rejoice in YHWH, And have trusted in Him, And all the upright of heart boast!
