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.

Pomagaj, Gospod, kajti bogaboječi človek izginja, kajti zvesti izmed človeških otrok slabi.

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

Prazne reči govorijo vsak s svojim bližnjim. Govorijo z laskavimi ustnicami in dvoličnim srcem.

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

Gospod bo iztrebil vse laskave ustnice in jezik, ki govori ponosne stvari,

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

ki so rekli: »S svojim jezikom bomo prevladali, naše ustnice so naša last. Kdo je gospodar nad nami?«

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.

»Zaradi zatiranja siromašnega, zaradi vzdihovanja pomoči potrebnega se bom sedaj vzdignil, « govori Gospod, »postavil ga bom na varno pred tistim, ki se napihuje nad njim.«

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

Gospodove besede so čiste besede; kakor srebro, preizkušeno v zemljini talilni peči, sedemkrat prečiščeno.

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

Ti jih boš varoval, oh Gospod, pred tem rodom jih boš ohranil na veke.

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

Zlobni hodijo na vsaki strani, ko so najnizkotnejši ljudje povišani.
