Psalms 12
1 Yahweh, help us! [It seems that] people who are loyal to you have all vanished.
Müzik şefi için - Sekiz telli sazlarla - Davut'un mezmuru Kurtar beni, ya RAB, sadık kulun kalmadı, Güvenilir insanlar yok oldu.
2 Everyone tells lies to other people; they deceive others by (flattering them/saying good things about them that they know are not true).
Herkes birbirine yalan söylüyor, Dalkavukluk, ikiyüzlülük ediyor.
3 Yahweh, we wish that you would cut off their tongues so that they cannot continue to boast.
Sustursun RAB dalkavukların ağzını, Büyüklenen dilleri.
4 They say, “By telling lies we will get what we want; we control what we say [MTY], so no one can tell us what we should not do!”
Onlar ki, “Dilimizle kazanırız, Dudaklarımız emrimizde, Kim bize efendilik edebilir?” derler.
5 But Yahweh replies, “I have seen the violent things that they have done to helpless people; and I have heard those people groaning, so I will arise and rescue the people who are wanting me to help them.”
“Şimdi kalkacağım” diyor RAB, “Çünkü mazlumlar eziliyor, Yoksullar inliyor, Özledikleri kurtuluşu vereceğim onlara.”
6 Yahweh, you always do what you have promised to do; what you have promised is [as precious and pure as] silver that has been heated seven times in a furnace [to get rid of all the] impure material.
RAB'bin sözleri pak sözlerdir; Toprak ocakta eritilmiş, Yedi kez arıtılmış gümüşe benzer.
7 Wicked people strut around [proudly], and people praise them for doing vile/wicked deeds, but Yahweh, [we know that] you will protect/rescue us from those wicked people.
Sen onları koru, ya RAB, Bu kötü kuşaktan hep uzak tut!
İnsanlar arasında alçaklık rağbet görünce, Kötüler her yanda dolaşır oldu.
