Psalmi 12

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

Help, Yhwh; 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 vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.

3 Istrijebiæe Gospod sva usta lažljiva, jezik velièavi,

Yhwh shall cut off all flattering lips, and 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, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: 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 Yhwh; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.

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

The words of Yhwh are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

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

Thou shalt keep them, O Yhwh, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

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

The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
