Psalmi 12

1 Pomagaj, Gospode; jer nesta svetijeh, jer je malo vjernijeh meðu sinovima èovjeèijim.

For the end, A Psalm of David, upon the eighth. Save me, O Lord; for the godly man has failed; for truth is diminished from amongst the children of men.

2 Laž govore jedan drugome, usnama lažljivijem govore iz srca dvolièna.

Every one has spoken vanity to his neighbour: their lips are deceitful, they have spoken with a double heart.

3 Istrijebiæe Gospod sva usta lažljiva, jezik velièavi,

Let the Lord destroy all the deceitful lips, and the tongue that speaks great words:

4 Ljude, koji govore: jezikom smo jaki, usta su naša u nas, ko je gospodar nad nama?

who have said, We will magnify our tongue; our lips are our own: who is Lord of us?

5 Videæi stradanje nevoljnih i uzdisanje ništih, sad æu ustati, veli Gospod, i izbaviti onoga kome zlobe.

Because of the misery of the poor, and because of the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, says the Lord, I will set [them] in safety; I will speak [to them] thereof openly.

6 Rijeèi su Gospodnje rijeèi èiste, srebro u vatri oèišæeno od zemlje, sedam puta pretopljeno.

The oracles of the Lord are pure oracles; as silver tried in the fire, proved [in] a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

7 Ti æeš nas, Gospode, odbraniti, i saèuvati nas od roda ovoga dovijeka.

You, O Lord, shall keep us, and shall preserve us, from this generation, and for ever.

8 Bezbožnici idu naokolo; kad se oni podižu, sramote se sinovi èovjeèiji.

The ungodly walk around: according to your greatness you has greatly exalted the sons of men.
