Psalms 12

1 To the choirmaster on the sheminith a psalm of David. Save! O Yahweh for he has come to an end [the] faithful for they have vanished faithful [people] from [the] children of humankind.

Zborovođi. U oktavi. Psalam. Davidov. U pomoć, Jahve, jer nestaje pobožnih, vjernosti nema više među ljudima!

2 Falsehood - they speak each with neighbor his a lip of flatteri with a heart and a heart they speak.

Svatko laže svome bližnjemu, govori usnama lažljivim i srcem dvoličnim.

3 May he cut off Yahweh all [the] lips of flatteri a tongue [which] speaks great [things].

Istrijebi, Jahve, sve usne lažljive i jezik hvastavi;

4 Which they say - tongues our we will make strong lips our [are] with us who? [is] master of us.

one što zbore: “Jezik je naša snaga, naše su usne za nas: tko nam što može?”

5 From [the] devastation of afflicted [people] from [the] groaning of needy [people] now I will arise he says Yahweh I will set in [the] safety [one who] he pants for it.

“Zbog nevolje tlačenih i jauka ubogih sada ću ustati - govori Jahve - spasenje donijet' onom tko ga želi.”

6 [the] words of Yahweh [are] words pure silver refined in a crucible of the earth purified sevenfold.

Riječi su Jahvine riječi iskrene, srebro prokušano, od zemlje odvojeno, sedam puta očišćeno.

7 You O Yahweh you will keep them you will guard him - from the generation this for ever.

O Jahve, ti ćeš bdjeti nad nama, od naraštaja ovog čuvat' nas svagda,

8 All around wicked [people] they walk about! when is exalted vileness by [the] children of humankind.

pa nek' se okolo vrzu zlotvori, nek' se izdižu ljudi najgori.
