Psalmi 12

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

TO THE OVERSEER. ON THE EIGHTH. A PSALM OF DAVID. Save, YHWH, for the saintly has failed, For the steadfast have ceased From the sons of men:

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

They each speak vanity with his neighbor, Lip of flattery! With heart and heart they speak.

3 Istrijebiæe Gospod sva usta lažljiva, jezik velièavi,

YHWH cuts off all lips of flattery, A tongue speaking great things,

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

Who said, “By our tongue we do mightily: 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.

Because of the spoiling of the poor, Because of the groaning of the needy, Now I arise, says YHWH, I set in safety [him who] breathes for it.

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

Sayings of YHWH [are] pure sayings—Silver tried in a furnace of earth, refined sevenfold.

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

You, O YHWH, preserve them, You keep us from this generation for all time.

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

The wicked walk around continually, According as vileness is exalted by sons of men!
