Psalms 64
1 For the music director. A psalm of David. God, please listen to my complaint. Protect me because my enemies scare me.
Poslušaj moj glas, oh Bog, v moji molitvi, varuj moje življenje strahu pred sovražnikom.
2 Shelter me from the plots of the wicked, from this evil mob.
Skrij me pred skrivnim načrtom hudobnih, pred vstajo delavcev krivičnosti,
3 What they say cuts like swords; they fire off poisonous words like arrows.
ki brusijo svoj jezik kakor meč in upogibajo svoje loke, da bi streljali svoje puščice, celó grenke besede,
4 They shoot from their hiding places at innocent people—doing this without warning, not afraid of being caught.
da bi lahko na skrivnem streljali na popolnega. Nenadoma streljajo nanj in se ne bojijo.
5 They encourage one another to do evil, planning how to secretly trap people, telling themselves, “Nobody will notice.”
Med seboj se hrabrijo v zli zadevi. Na skrivaj se posvetujejo o nastavljanju zank; pravijo: »Kdo jih bo videl?«
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.
Preiskujejo krivičnosti, dovršijo marljivo iskanje. Notranja misel vsakogar izmed njih in srce, oboje je globoko.
7 But God will shoot them with arrows; all of a sudden they will be wounded.
Toda Bog bo nanje streljal s puščico, nenadoma bodo ranjeni.
8 What they themselves say will trip them up; people who see them will mock them, shaking their heads at them.
Tako bodo dosegli, da bo njihov lastni jezik padel nanje. Vsi, ki jih vidijo, bodo zbežali stran.
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.
Vsi ljudje se bodo bali in bodo oznanjali Božje delo, kajti o njegovem dejanju bodo modro preudarjali.
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.
Pravični bodo veseli v Gospodu in bodo zaupali vanj in vsi iskreni v srcu bodo ponosni.
