Psalms 140
1 For the end, a Psalm of David. Rescue me, O Lord, from the evil man; deliver me from the unjust man.
Izbavi me, Gospode, od èovjeka zloga, saèuvaj me od nasilnika,
2 Who have devised injustice in their hearts; all the day they prepared war.
Koji pomišljaju zlo u srcu i svaki dan podižu rat;
3 They have sharpened their tongue as [the tongue] of a serpent; the poison of asps is under their lips. (Pause)
Oštre jezik svoj kao zmija, jed je aspidin u ustima njihovijem.
4 Keep me, O Lord, from the hand of the sinner; rescue me from unjust men; who have purposed to overthrow my goings.
Saèuvaj me, Bože, od ruku bezbožnièkih, od nasilnika sahrani me, koji misle da potkinu noge moje.
5 The proud have hid a snare for me, and have stretched out ropes [for] snares for my feet; they set a stumbling block for me near the path. (Pause)
Oholi mi namjestiše zamke i prugla, metnuše mi mrežu na put, preðu razapeše mi.
6 I said to the Lord, You are my God; listen, O Lord, to the voice of my supplication.
Rekoh Gospodu: ti si Bog moj, usliši, Gospode, glas moljenja mojega.
7 O Lord God, the strength of my salvation; you have screened my head in the day of battle.
Gospode, Gospode, krjepki spasitelju moj, zakloni glavu moju u dan ratni!
8 Deliver me not, O Lord, to the sinner, according to my desire: they have devised [mischief] against me; forsake me not, lest they should be exalted. (Pause)
Ne daj, Gospode, bezbožniku što želi, ne daj mu da dokuèi što je naumio, da se ne uznose.
9 [As for] the head of them that compass me, the mischief of their lips shall cover them.
Otrov onijeh što su oko mene, pogibao usta njihovijeh neka se obrati na njih.
10 Coals of fire shall fall upon them on the earth; and you shall cast them down in afflictions: they shall not bear up [under them].
Neka padne na njih živo ugljevlje; neka ih on baci u oganj, u propasti, da ne ustanu.
11 A talkative man shall not prosper on the earth: evils shall hunt the unrighteous man to destruction.
Èovjek jezièan neæe se utvrditi na zemlji, nepravednoga æe zloæa uvaliti u pogibao.
12 I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the poor, and the right of the needy ones.
Znam da æe Gospod pokazati pravdu nevoljnome i pravicu ubogima.
13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks to your name: the upright shall dwell in your presence.
Da! pravedni æe slaviti ime tvoje, pravi æe ostati pred licem tvojim.
