Psalms 64

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. Hear my voice, God, in my complaint. Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.

Èuj, Bože, glas moj u jadu mom; od strašnoga neprijatelja saèuvaj život moj.

2 Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, from the noisy crowd of the ones doing evil;

Sakrij me od gomile bezakonika, od èete zloèinaca,

3 who sharpen their tongue like a sword, and aim their arrows, deadly words,

Koji naoštriše jezik svoj kao maè, strijeljaju rijeèima, koje zadaju rane,

4 to shoot innocent men from ambushes. They shoot at him suddenly and fearlessly.

Da bi iz potaje ubili pravoga. Iznenada udaraju na nj i ne boje se;

5 They encourage themselves in evil plans. They talk about laying snares secretly. They say, “Who will see them?”

Utvrðuju sebe u zlijem namjerama, dogovaraju se kako æe zamke sakriti, vele: ko æe ih vidjeti?

6 They plot injustice, saying, “We have made a perfect plan!” Surely man’s mind and heart are cunning.

Izmišljaju zloèinstva i govore: svršeno je! šta æe se raditi, smišljeno je! A što je unutra i srce u èovjeka duboko je.

7 But God will shoot at them. They will be suddenly struck down with an arrow.

Ali æe ih Bog poraziti; udariæe ih strijela iznenada.

8 Their own tongues shall ruin them. All who see them will shake their heads.

Oboriæe jedan drugoga jezikom svojim. Ko ih god vidi, bježaæe od njih.

9 All mankind shall be afraid. They shall declare the work of God, and shall wisely ponder what he has done.

Svi æe se ljudi bojati i kazivaæe èudo Božije, i poznaæe u tome djelo njegovo.

10 The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall take refuge in him. All the upright in heart shall praise him!

A pravednik æe se veseliti o Gospodu i uzdaæe se u njega, i hvaliæe se svi koji su prava srca.
