< Psalmi 10 >
1 Zašto, Gospode, stojiš daleko, kriješ se kad je nevolja?
Why, O LORD, do You stand far off? Why do You hide in times of trouble?
2 S oholosti bezbožnikove muèe se ubogi; hvataju se ubogi prijevarom koju izmišljaju bezbožnici.
In pride the wicked pursue the needy; let them be caught in the schemes they devise.
3 Jer se bezbožnik dièi željom duše svoje, grabljivca pohvaljuje.
For the wicked man boasts in the cravings of his heart; he blesses the greedy and reviles the LORD.
4 Bezbožnik u obijesti svojoj ne mari za Gospoda: “on ne vidi.” Nema Boga u mislima njegovijem.
In his pride the wicked man does not seek Him; in all his schemes there is no God.
5 Svagda su putovi njegovi krivi; za sudove tvoje ne zna; na neprijatelje svoje neæe ni da gleda.
He is secure in his ways at all times; Your lofty judgments are far from him; he sneers at all his foes.
6 U srcu svojem veli: neæu posrnuti; zlo neæe doæi nigda.
He says to himself, “I will not be moved; from age to age I am free of distress.”
7 Usta su mu puna nevaljalijeh rijeèi, prijevare i uvrede, pod jezikom je njegovijem muka i pogibao.
His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and violence; trouble and malice are under his tongue.
8 Sjedi u zasjedi iza kuæe; u potaji ubija pravoga; oèi njegove vrebaju ubogoga.
He lies in wait near the villages; in ambush he slays the innocent; his eyes watch in stealth for the helpless.
9 Sjedi u potaji kao lav u peæini; sjedi u zasjedi da uhvati ubogoga; hvata ubogoga uvukavši u mrežu svoju.
He lies in wait like a lion in a thicket; he lurks to seize the oppressed; he catches the lowly in his net.
10 Pritaji se, prilegne, i ubogi padaju u jake nokte njegove.
They are crushed and beaten down; the hapless fall prey to his strength.
11 Kaže u srcu svome: “Bog je zaboravio, okrenuo je lice svoje, neæe vidjeti nigda.”
He says to himself, “God has forgotten; He hides His face and never sees.”
12 Ustani, Gospode! digni ruku svoju, ne zaboravi nevoljnijeh.
Arise, O LORD! Lift up Your hand, O God! Do not forget the helpless.
13 Zašto bezbožnik da ne mari za Boga govoreæi u srcu svom da ti neæeš vidjeti?
Why has the wicked man renounced God? He says to himself, “You will never call me to account.”
14 Ti vidiš; jer gledaš uvrede i muke i pišeš ih na ruci. Tebi predaje sebe ubogi; siroti ti si pomoænik.
But You have regarded trouble and grief; You see to repay it by Your hand. The victim entrusts himself to You; You are the helper of the fatherless.
15 Satri mišicu bezbožnome i zlome, da se traži i ne naðe bezbožnost njegova.
Break the arm of the wicked and evildoer; call him to account for his wickedness until none is left to be found.
16 Gospod je car svagda, dovijeka, nestaæe neznabožaca sa zemlje njegove.
The LORD is King forever and ever; the nations perish from His land.
17 Gospode! ti èuješ želje ništih; utvrdi srce njihovo; otvori uho svoje,
You have heard, O LORD, the desire of the humble; You will strengthen their hearts. You will incline Your ear,
18 Da daš sud siroti i nevoljniku, da prestanu goniti èovjeka sa zemlje.
to vindicate the fatherless and oppressed, that the men of the earth may strike terror no more.
