Psalms 12

1 For the Chief Musician; set to the Sheminith. A Psalm of David. Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.

Pomagaj, Gospode; jer nesta svetijeh, jer je malo vjernijeh meðu sinovima èovjeèijim.

2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lip, and with a double heart, do they speak.

Laž govore jedan drugome, usnama lažljivijem govore iz srca dvolièna.

3 The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that speaketh great things:

Istrijebiæe Gospod sva usta lažljiva, jezik velièavi,

4 Who have said, with our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?

Ljude, koji govore: jezikom smo jaki, usta su naša u nas, ko je gospodar nad nama?

5 For the spoiling of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety at whom they puff.

Videæi stradanje nevoljnih i uzdisanje ništih, sad æu ustati, veli Gospod, i izbaviti onoga kome zlobe.

6 The words of the LORD are pure words; as silver tried in a furnace on the earth, purified seven times.

Rijeèi su Gospodnje rijeèi èiste, srebro u vatri oèišæeno od zemlje, sedam puta pretopljeno.

7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

Ti æeš nas, Gospode, odbraniti, i saèuvati nas od roda ovoga dovijeka.

8 The wicked walk on every side, when vileness is exalted among the sons of men.

Bezbožnici idu naokolo; kad se oni podižu, sramote se sinovi èovjeèiji.
