To the choirmaster on the sheminith a psalm of David. Save! O Yahweh for he has come to an end [the] faithful for they have vanished faithful [people] from [the] children of humankind.

2 Svatko laže svome bližnjemu, govori usnama lažljivim i srcem dvoličnim.

Falsehood - they speak each with neighbor his a lip of flatteri with a heart and a heart they speak.

3 Istrijebi, Jahve, sve usne lažljive i jezik hvastavi;

May he cut off Yahweh all [the] lips of flatteri a tongue [which] speaks great [things].

Which they say - tongues our we will make strong lips our [are] with us who? [is] master of us.

5 “Zbog nevolje tlačenih i jauka ubogih sada ću ustati - govori Jahve - spasenje donijet' onom tko ga želi.”

6 Riječi su Jahvine riječi iskrene, srebro prokušano, od zemlje odvojeno, sedam puta očišćeno.

[the] words of Yahweh [are] words pure silver refined in a crucible of the earth purified sevenfold.

7 O Jahve, ti ćeš bdjeti nad nama, od naraštaja ovog čuvat' nas svagda,

You O Yahweh you will keep them you will guard him - from the generation this for ever.

8 pa nek' se okolo vrzu zlotvori, nek' se izdižu ljudi najgori.

All around wicked [people] they walk about! when is exalted vileness by [the] children of humankind.
