Psalms 140
1 To the Chief Musician. A Melody of David. Rescue me, O Yahweh, from the men of mischief, From the men of violence, wilt thou preserve me:
Izbavi me, Gospode, od èovjeka zloga, saèuvaj me od nasilnika,
2 Who have devised mischiefs in their [heart], Every day, do they stir up wars:
Koji pomišljaju zlo u srcu i svaki dan podižu rat;
3 They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent, —The poison of the asp, is under their lips. (Selah)
Oštre jezik svoj kao zmija, jed je aspidin u ustima njihovijem.
4 Keep me, O Yahweh, from the hands of the lawless one, From the man of violence, wilt thou preserve me, —who have devised, to thrust at 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, have they spread as a net beside the track, Snares, have they set for me. (Selah)
Oholi mi namjestiše zamke i prugla, metnuše mi mrežu na put, preðu razapeše mi.
6 I have said unto Yahweh, My GOD, thou art! Give ear, O Yahweh, unto the voice of my supplications.
Rekoh Gospodu: ti si Bog moj, usliši, Gospode, glas moljenja mojega.
7 O Yahweh, My Lord, my saving strength, thou hast screened my head in the day of battle.
Gospode, Gospode, krjepki spasitelju moj, zakloni glavu moju u dan ratni!
8 Do not grant, O Yahweh, the desires of the lawless one, his device, do not promote, 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 them who surround me, Let the mischief of their lips cover them:
Otrov onijeh što su oko mene, pogibao usta njihovijeh neka se obrati na njih.
10 May there be dropped on them live coals, —Into the fire, may they be let fall, into watery pits [from which] they shall not rise.
Neka padne na njih živo ugljevlje; neka ih on baci u oganj, u propasti, da ne ustanu.
11 As for the slanderer, let him not be established in the earth, —As for the man of wrongful violence, let misfortune hunt him with thrust upon thrust.
Èovjek jezièan neæe se utvrditi na zemlji, nepravednoga æe zloæa uvaliti u pogibao.
12 I know that Yahweh will execute, the right of the oppressed one, the vindication of the needy.
Znam da æe Gospod pokazati pravdu nevoljnome i pravicu ubogima.
13 Surely, the righteous, shall give thanks to thy Name, the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
Da! pravedni æe slaviti ime tvoje, pravi æe ostati pred licem tvojim.
