Mezmurlar 63

¹Sona doğru; Davut'un bir mezmuru.

²Ey Tanrı, Sana yakardığımda sesimi işit; canımı düşman korkusundan çekip çıkar.

³Kötülük yapanların güruhundan, adaletsizlik işleyenlerin kalabalığından beni korudun.

⁴Onlar ki dillerini kılıç gibi bilediler; yaylarını acı bir iş olarak gerdiler,

⁵Gizli yerlerde lekesiz olanı okla vurmak için; ansızın okla vuracaklar onu ve hiç korkmayacaklar.

⁶Kendileri için kötü bir tasarıyı güçlendirdiler, tuzakları gizlemekten bahsettiler; "Onları kim görecek?" dediler.

⁷Fesat araştırdılar, araştırmaları derinlemesine araştırırken tükendiler; insan yaklaşacak ve yürek derindir.

⁸Ve Tanrı yüceltilecek; onların açtığı yaralar çocukların oku gibi oldu.

⁹Ve dilleri kendilerine karşı güçsüz düştü; onları görenlerin hepsi dehşete kapılıp sarsıldı.

¹⁰Ve her insan korktu; Tanrı'nın işlerini ilan ettiler ve O'nun yaptıklarını kavradılar.

¹¹Doğru kişi Rab'de sevinecek ve O'na umut bağlayacak; yüreği temiz olanların hepsi övülecek.

¹Εἰς τὸ τέλος· ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυΐδ. -

²ΕΙΣΑΚΟΥΣΟΝ, ὁ Θεός, τῆς φωνῆς μου, ἐν τῷ δέεσθαί με πρὸς σέ, ἀπὸ φόβου ἐχθροῦ ἐξελοῦ τὴν ψυχήν μου.

³ἐσκέπασάς με ἀπὸ συστροφῆς πονηρευομένων, ἀπὸ πλήθους ἐργαζομένων ἀδικίαν,

⁴οἵτινες ἠκόνησαν ὡς ῥομφαίαν τὰς γλώσσας αὐτῶν, ἐνέτειναν τόξον αὐτῶν πρᾶγμα πικρὸν

⁵τοῦ κατατοξεῦσαι ἐν ἀποκρύφοις ἄμωμον, ἐξάπινα κατατοξεύσουσιν αὐτὸν καὶ οὐ φοβηθήσονται.

⁶ἐκραταίωσαν ἑαυτοῖς λόγον πονηρόν, διηγήσαντο τοῦ κρύψαι παγίδας, εἶπαν· τίς ὄψεται αὐτούς;

⁷ἐξηρεύνησαν ἀνομίαν, ἐξέλιπον ἐξερευνῶντες ἐξερευνήσεις. προσελεύσεται ἄνθρωπος, καὶ καρδία βαθεῖα,

⁸καὶ ὑψωθήσεται, ὁ Θεός. βέλος νηπίων ἐγενήθησαν αἱ πληγαὶ αὐτῶν,

⁹καὶ ἐξησθένησαν ἐπ᾿ αὐτοὺς αἱ γλῶσσαι αὐτῶν. ἐταράχθησαν πάντες οἱ θεωροῦντες αὐτούς,

¹⁰καὶ ἐφοβήθη πᾶς ἄνθρωπος. καὶ ἀνήγγειλαν τὰ ἔργα τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ τὰ ποιήματα αὐτοῦ συνῆκαν.

¹¹εὐφρανθήσεται δίκαιος ἐν τῷ Κυρίῳ καὶ ἐλπιεῖ ἐπ᾿ αὐτόν, καὶ ἐπαινεθήσονται πάντες οἱ εὐθεῖς τῇ καρδίᾳ.

¹[For the end, a Psalm of David.]

²Hear my prayer, O God, when I make my petition to thee; deliver my soul from fear of the enemy.

³Thou hast sheltered me from the conspiracy of them that do wickedly; from the multitude of them that work iniquity;

⁴who have sharpened their tongues as a sword; they have bent their bow maliciously;

⁵to shoot in secret at the blameless; they will shoot him suddenly, and will not fear.

⁶They have set up for themselves an evil matter, they have given counsel to hide snares; they have said, Who shall see them?

⁷They have searched out iniquity; they have wearied themselves with searching diligently, a man shall approach and the heart is deep,

⁸and God shall be exalted, their wounds were [caused by] the weapon of the foolish children,

⁹and their tongues have set him at nought, all that saw them were troubled;

¹⁰and every man was alarmed, and they related the works of God, and understood his deeds.

¹¹The righteous shall rejoice in the Lord, and hope on him, and all the upright in heart shall be praised.
