Psalm 64

Menge Bibel

1 Dem Musikmeister, ein Psalm Davids.2 Höre, o Gott, meine Stimme, wenn ich klage, vor dem Feinde, der mich schreckt, behüte mein Leben!3 Schirme mich vor den Plänen der bösen Buben, vor der lärmenden Rotte der Übeltäter,4 die ihre Zunge schärfen wie ein Schwert, giftige Worte als ihre Pfeile auf den Bogen legen,5 um im Versteck auf den Frommen zu schießen: unversehens schießen sie auf ihn ohne Scheu.6 Sie ermutigen sich zu bösem Anschlag, verabreden, heimlich Schlingen zu legen; sie denken: »Wer wird sie sehen?«7 Sie sinnen auf Freveltaten: »Wir sind fertig, der Plan ist fein erdacht!« Und das Innere jedes Menschen und das Herz sind unergründlich.8 Da trifft sie Gott mit dem Pfeil, urplötzlich fühlen sie sich verwundet:9 ihre eigene Zunge hat sie zu Fall gebracht; alle, die sie sehen, schütteln das Haupt.10 Da fürchten sich alle Menschen und bekennen: »Das hat Gott getan!« und erwägen sein Walten.11 Der Gerechte freut sich des HERRN und nimmt seine Zuflucht zu ihm, und alle redlichen Herzen preisen sich glücklich.

von Biblica
1 God, hear me as I tell you my problem. Don’t let my enemies kill me.2 Hide me from evil people who talk about how to harm me. Hide me from those people who are planning to do evil.3 They make their tongues like sharp swords. They aim their mean words like deadly arrows.4 They shoot from their hiding places at people who aren’t guilty. They shoot quickly and aren’t afraid of being caught.5 They help one another make evil plans. They talk about hiding their traps. They say, ‘Who can see what we are doing?’6 They make plans to do what is evil. They say, ‘We have thought up a perfect plan!’ The hearts and minds of people are so clever!7 But God will shoot my enemies with his arrows. He will suddenly strike them down.8 He will turn their own words against them. He will destroy them. All those who see them will shake their heads and look down on them.9 All people will respect God. They will tell about his works. They will think about what he has done.10 Godly people will be full of joy because of what the LORD has done. They will go to him for safety. All those whose hearts are honest will be proud of what he has done.

Psalm 64

English Standard Version

von Crossway
1 To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; preserve my life from dread of the enemy. (Ps 55,2)2 Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked, from the throng of evildoers, (Ps 55,14)3 who whet their tongues like swords, who aim bitter words like arrows, (Ps 11,2; Ps 57,4)4 shooting from ambush at the blameless, shooting at him suddenly and without fear. (Ps 10,8; Ps 55,19)5 They hold fast to their evil purpose; they talk of laying snares secretly, thinking, “Who can see them?” (Hi 22,13; Ps 140,5; Jer 23,14; Hes 13,22)6 They search out injustice, saying, “We have accomplished a diligent search.” For the inward mind and heart of a man are deep. (Ps 49,11)7 But God shoots his arrow at them; they are wounded suddenly. (Ps 7,12; Ps 58,7)8 They are brought to ruin, with their own tongues turned against them; all who see them will wag their heads. (Ps 22,7; Ps 40,3; Spr 12,13; Spr 18,7; Jer 18,16; Jer 48,27)9 Then all mankind fears; they tell what God has brought about and ponder what he has done. (Ps 64,8; Jer 50,28; Jer 51,10)10 Let the righteous one rejoice in the Lord and take refuge in him! Let all the upright in heart exult! (Hi 22,19; Ps 7,10; Ps 11,1; Ps 32,11)
