Psalms 140

1 To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Free me, O Jehovah, from the evil man; preserve me from the violent man:

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

2 Who devise mischiefs in [their] heart; every day are they banded together for war.

Koji pomišljaju zlo u srcu i svaki dan podižu rat;

3 They sharpen their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. (Selah)

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

4 Keep me, O Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked [man], preserve me from the violent man, who devise to overthrow my steps.

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

5 The proud have hidden a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the way-side; they have set traps for me. (Selah)

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

6 I have said unto Jehovah, Thou art my God: give ear, O Jehovah, to the voice of my supplications.

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

7 Jehovah, the Lord, is the strength of my salvation: thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.

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

8 Grant not, O Jehovah, the desire of the wicked; further not his device: they would exalt themselves. (Selah)

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

9 [As for] the head of those that encompass me, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

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

10 Let burning coals fall on them; let them be cast into the fire; into deep waters, that they rise not up again.

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

11 Let not the man of [evil] tongue be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the man of violence to [his] ruin.

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

12 I know that Jehovah will maintain the cause of the afflicted one, the right of the needy.

Znam da æe Gospod pokazati pravdu nevoljnome i pravicu ubogima.

13 Yea, the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name; the upright shall dwell in thy presence.

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