< Psalmi 12 >

1 Pomagaj, Gospode; jer nesta svetijeh, jer je malo vjernijeh meðu sinovima èovjeèijim.
For the Leader; on the Sheminith. A Psalm of David. Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
2 Laž govore jedan drugome, usnama lažljivijem govore iz srca dvolièna.
They speak falsehood every one with his neighbour; with flattering lip, and with a double heart, do they speak.
3 Istrijebiæe Gospod sva usta lažljiva, jezik velièavi,
May the LORD cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that speaketh proud things!
4 Ljude, koji govore: jezikom smo jaki, usta su naša u nas, ko je gospodar nad nama?
Who have said: 'Our tongue will we make mighty; our lips are with us: who is lord over us?'
5 Videæi stradanje nevoljnih i uzdisanje ništih, sad æu ustati, veli Gospod, i izbaviti onoga kome zlobe.
'For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise', saith the LORD; 'I will set him in safety at whom they puff.'
6 Rijeèi su Gospodnje rijeèi èiste, srebro u vatri oèišæeno od zemlje, sedam puta pretopljeno.
The words of the LORD are pure words, as silver tried in a crucible on the earth, refined seven times.
7 Ti æeš nas, Gospode, odbraniti, i saèuvati nas od roda ovoga dovijeka.
Thou wilt keep them, O LORD; Thou wilt preserve us from this generation for ever.
8 Bezbožnici idu naokolo; kad se oni podižu, sramote se sinovi èovjeèiji.
The wicked walk on every side, when vileness is exalted among the sons of men.
