Psalm 64In Hebrew texts 64:1-10 is numbered 64:2-11.
For the director of music. A psalm of David.
1Hear me, my God, as I voice my complaint;
protect my life from the threat of the enemy.
2Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked,
from the plots of evildoers.
3They sharpen their tongues like swords
and aim cruel words like deadly arrows.
4They shoot from ambush at the innocent;
they shoot suddenly, without fear.
5They encourage each other in evil plans,
they talk about hiding their snares;
they say, “Who will see it64:5 Or us?”
6They plot injustice and say,
“We have devised a perfect plan!”
Surely the human mind and heart are cunning.
7But God will shoot them with his arrows;
they will suddenly be struck down.
8He will turn their own tongues against them
and bring them to ruin;
all who see them will shake their heads in scorn.
9All people will fear;
they will proclaim the works of God
and ponder what he has done.
10The righteous will rejoice in the Lord
and take refuge in him;
all the upright in heart will glory in him!
Salimo 64
Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide.
1Ndimvereni Mulungu pomwe ndikunena madandawulo anga;
tetezani moyo wanga ku chiopsezo cha mdani.
2Ndibiseni ku chiwembu cha anthu oyipa,
ku gulu laphokoso la anthu ochita zoyipa.
3Iwo amanola malilime awo ngati malupanga,
amaponya mawu awo olasa ngati mivi.
4Iwo amaponya mivi yawo ali pa malo wobisala kwa munthu wosalakwa;
amamulasa modzidzimutsa ndi mopanda mantha.
5Iwo amalimbikitsana wina ndi mnzake pa chikonzero chawo choyipa,
amayankhula zobisa misampha yawo;
ndipo amati, “Adzayiona ndani?”
6Iwo amakonzekera zosalungama ndipo amati,
“Takonza ndondomeko yabwino kwambiri!”
Ndithu maganizo ndi mtima wa munthu ndi zachinyengo.
7Koma Mulungu adzawalasa ndi mivi;
mwadzidzidzi adzakanthidwa.
8Iye adzatembenuza milomo yawoyo kuwatsutsa
ndi kuwasandutsa bwinja;
onse amene adzawaona adzagwedeza mitu yawo mowanyoza.
9Anthu onse adzachita mantha;
adzalengeza ntchito za Mulungu
ndi kulingalira mozama zomwe Iye wazichita.
10Lolani wolungama akondwere mwa Yehova
ndi kubisala mwa Iye,
owongoka mtima onse atamande Iye!
