< Psalmi 36 >
1 Zborovođi. Od sluge Jahvina Davida. Grešan je naum u srcu zlotvora, straha Božjega nema on pred očima.
For the end, by David the servant of the Lord. The transgressor, that he may sin, says within himself, [that] there is no fear of God before his eyes.
2 Sam sebi on laska suviše, grijeha svog ne vidi i ne mrzi.
For he has dealt craftily before him, to discover his iniquity and hate it.
3 Riječi usta njegovih prijevara su i zlodjelo, za razumnost i dobro on više ne mari.
The words of his mouth are transgression and deceit: he is not inclined to understand [how] to do good.
4 Bezakonje smišlja na postelji svojoj, na opaku ostaje putu, od zla ne odustaje.
He devises iniquity on his bed; he gives himself to every evil way; and does not abhor evil.
5 Do neba je, Jahve, dobrota tvoja, do oblaka vjernost tvoja.
O Lord, thy mercy is in the heaven; and thy truth [reaches] to the clouds.
6 Pravednost je tvoja k'o Božji vrhunci, a sudovi tvoji k'o duboko more: ljude i stoku ti, Jahve, spasavaš.
Thy righteousness is as the mountains of God, thy judgments are as a great deep: O Lord, thou wilt preserve men and beasts.
7 Kako li je dragocjena, Bože, dobrota tvoja, pod sjenu krila tvojih ljudi se sklanjaju;
How hast thou multiplied thy mercy, O God! so the children of men shall trust in the shelter of thy wings.
8 site se pretilinom Doma tvojega, potocima svojih slasti ti ih napajaš.
They shall be fully satisfied with the fatness of thine house; and thou shalt cause them to drink of the full stream of thy delights.
9 U tebi je izvor životni, tvojom svjetlošću mi svjetlost vidimo.
For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light we shall see light.
10 Zakrili dobrotom sve koji te štuju i pravednošću svojom sve koji su srca čestita.
Extend thy mercy to them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.
11 Neka me ne zgazi noga ohola, i ruka grešnika neka me ne goni.
Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of sinners move me.
12 Gle, padoše koji čine bezakonje: oboreni su da više ne ustanu.
There have all the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast out, and shall not be able to stand.
