Salmos 64

 
1 Laulunjohtajalle. Daavidin psalmi. (H64:2)Kuule ääneni, Jumala, kun valitan. Kun vihollinen uhkaa, varjele minua. <To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David.> O God, let the voice of my grief come to your ear: keep my life from the fear of those who are against me.
2 (H64:3)Kätke minut pahantekijöiden kiihkolta, väärintekijöiden juonilta. Keep me safe from the secret purpose of wrongdoers; from the band of the workers of evil;
3 (H64:4)He teroittavat kielensä kuin miekan, jännittävät nuolekseen myrkyllisen sanan, Who make their tongues sharp like a sword, and whose arrows are pointed, even bitter words;
4 (H64:5)ja äkkiä he piilopaikastaan ampuvat viatonta, ampuvat, eivät pelkää. So that in secret they may let loose their arrows at the upright, suddenly and unseen.
5 (H64:8)Jumala ampuu heihin nuolensa, ja äkkiä he ovat täynnä haavoja. They make themselves strong in an evil purpose; they make holes for secret nets; they say, Who will see it,
6 (H64:9)He kompastuvat omiin puheisiinsa. Jokainen, joka heidät näkee, pudistaa päätään. Or make discovery of our secret purpose? The design is framed with care; and the inner thought of a man, and his heart, is deep.
7 (H64:10)Kaikki ihmiset ovat peloissaan. He kertovat, mitä Jumala on tehnyt, ja ottavat opikseen Jumalan teoista. But God sends out an arrow against them; suddenly they are wounded.
8 (H64:11)Iloitkoon vanhurskas Herrasta ja luottakoon häneen! Oikeamieliset riemuitkoot! The evil of their tongues is the cause of their fall; all those who see them are shaking their heads at them.
9 And in fear men make public the works of God; and giving thought to his acts they get wisdom.
10 The upright will be glad in the Lord and have hope in him; and all the lovers of righteousness will give him glory.
