Psalms 64

Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov.
Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
Poslušaj, Bože, moje žalbe glas; od strašna dušmanina život mi čuvaj!
Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
Štiti me od mnoštva opakih, sakrij od bjesnila zlotvora
That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
koji bruse jezike k'o mačeve, otrovne riječi izbacuju kao strijele,
They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?
da iz potaje rane nedužna, da ga rane iznenada ne bojeć' se ničega.
They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.
Spremni su na djelo pakosno, snuju kako će kradom zamke staviti i govore: "Tko će nas vidjeti?"
But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.
Snuju zlodjela, smišljene osnove kriju: pamet i srce čovječje bezdan su duboki.
So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.
No Bog ih ranjava strijelom, odjednom ih rane prekriju.
And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.
Vlastiti jezik propast im donosi, kimaju glavom oni što ih vide:
The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
svi se boje, Božje djelo slave i misle o onom što on učini. [ (Psalms 64:11) Pravednik se raduje u Jahvi, njemu se utječe, i kliču svim srcem čestiti. ]
