Psalms 140

1 To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. O Lord, take me out of the power of the evil man; keep me safe from the violent man:

Izbavi me, Gospode, od èovjeka zloga, saèuvaj me od nasilnika,

2 For their hearts are full of evil designs; and they are ever making ready causes of war.

Koji pomišljaju zlo u srcu i svaki dan podižu rat;

3 Their tongues are sharp like the tongue of a snake; the poison of snakes is under their lips. (Selah)

Oštre jezik svoj kao zmija, jed je aspidin u ustima njihovijem.

4 O Lord, take me out of the hands of sinners; keep me safe from the violent man: for they are designing my downfall.

Saèuvaj me, Bože, od ruku bezbožnièkih, od nasilnika sahrani me, koji misle da potkinu noge moje.

5 The men of pride have put secret cords for my feet; stretching nets in my way, so that they may take me with their tricks. (Selah)

Oholi mi namjestiše zamke i prugla, metnuše mi mrežu na put, preðu razapeše mi.

6 I have said to the Lord, You are my God: give ear, O Lord, to the voice of my prayer.

Rekoh Gospodu: ti si Bog moj, usliši, Gospode, glas moljenja mojega.

7 O Lord God, the strength of my salvation, you have been a cover over my head in the day of the fight.

Gospode, Gospode, krjepki spasitelju moj, zakloni glavu moju u dan ratni!

8 O Lord, give not the wrongdoer his desire; give him no help in his evil designs, or he may be uplifted in pride. (Selah)

Ne daj, Gospode, bezbožniku što želi, ne daj mu da dokuèi što je naumio, da se ne uznose.

9 As for those who come round me, let their heads be covered by the evil of their lips.

Otrov onijeh što su oko mene, pogibao usta njihovijeh neka se obrati na njih.

10 Let burning flames come down on them: let them be put into the fire, and into deep waters, so that they may not get up again.

Neka padne na njih živo ugljevlje; neka ih on baci u oganj, u propasti, da ne ustanu.

11 Let not a man of evil tongue be safe on earth: let destruction overtake the violent man with blow on blow.

Èovjek jezièan neæe se utvrditi na zemlji, nepravednoga æe zloæa uvaliti u pogibao.

12 I am certain that the Lord will take care of the cause of the poor, and of the rights of those who are troubled.

Znam da æe Gospod pokazati pravdu nevoljnome i pravicu ubogima.

13 Truly, the upright will give praise to your name: the holy will have a place in your house.

Da! pravedni æe slaviti ime tvoje, pravi æe ostati pred licem tvojim.
