1Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
1{Načelniku godbe. Psalm Davidov.} Čuj, o Bog, glas moj, ko žalujem, strahu sovražnikovega varuj življenje moje!
2Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
2Skrivaj me skrivnemu naklepu hudobnih, hrumeči množici njih, ki delajo krivico;
3Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
3ki so nabrusili kakor meč jezik svoj, namerili pšico – grenko besedo,
4That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
4da ustrele iz zakotja nedolžnega; nenadoma streljajo vanj in se nič ne boje.
5They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them?
5Potrjujejo si hudobni dogovor, pogovarjajo se, kako naj skrijejo zanke, pravijo: Kdo bi jih videl?
6They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.
6Izmišljajo si hudobije: Dognali smo, pravijo, zvit naklep! In notranje mišljenje vsakega in srce je pregloboko.
7But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.
7Ali Bog ustreli vanje, naglo prileti pšica, hipoma bodo ranjeni
8So they shall make their own tongue to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.
8in pasti morajo; naklep njih jezika pride nadnje; kdorkoli jih bo videl, bo majal z glavo.
9And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of his doing.
9In vsi ljudje se bodo bali in oznanjali delo Božje in premišljevali dejanje njegovo.Veselil se bo pravični v GOSPODU in upal vanj, in hvalili se bodo vsi, ki so pravega srca.
10The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
10Veselil se bo pravični v GOSPODU in upal vanj, in hvalili se bodo vsi, ki so pravega srca.
