Psalms 64

1 For the music director. A psalm of David. God, please listen to my complaint. Protect me because my enemies scare me.

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

2 Shelter me from the plots of the wicked, from this evil mob.

Štiti me od mnoštva opakih, sakrij od bjesnila zlotvora

3 What they say cuts like swords; they fire off poisonous words like arrows.

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

4 They shoot from their hiding places at innocent people—doing this without warning, not afraid of being caught.

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

5 They encourage one another to do evil, planning how to secretly trap people, telling themselves, “Nobody will notice.”

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

6 They plot wicked things. “What a great plan we've created!” they say. There are no limits to the depths to which human minds and thoughts can sink.

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

7 But God will shoot them with arrows; all of a sudden they will be wounded.

No Bog ih ranjava strijelom, odjednom ih rane prekriju.

8 What they themselves say will trip them up; people who see them will mock them, shaking their heads at them.

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

9 Then everyone will be frightened. They will say that this is the work of God, and they will think about what he has done.

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

10 Those who are right with the Lord will be happy in him, they will go to him for protection. Those who live right will praise him.

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