Psalmi 12

Biblija Hrvatski	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Zborovođi. U oktavi. Psalam. Davidov.	1 Unto the end; for the octave, a psalm for David.
2 U pomoć, Jahve, jer nestaje pobožnih, vjernosti nema više među ljudima!	2 Save me, O Lord, for there is now no saint: truths are decayed from among the children of men.
3 Svatko laže svome bližnjemu, govori usnama lažljivim i srcem dvoličnim.	3 They have spoken vain things every one to his neighbour: with deceitful lips, and with a double heart have they spoken.
4 Istrijebi, Jahve, sve usne lažljive i jezik hvastavi;	4 May the Lord destroy all deceitful lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things.
5 one što zbore: »Jezik je naša snaga, naše su usne za nas: tko nam što može?«	5 Who have said: We will magnify our tongue; our lips are our own; who is Lord over us?
6 »Zbog nevolje tlačenih i jauka ubogih sada ću ustati« – govori Jahve – »spasenje donijet’ onom tko ga želi.«	6 By reason of the misery of the needy, and the groans of the poor, now will I arise, saith the Lord. I win set him in safety; I will deal confidently in his regard.
7 Riječi su Jahvine riječi iskrene, srebro prokušano, od zemlje odvojeno, sedam puta očišćeno.	7 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried by the fire, purged from the earth refined seven times.
8 O Jahve, ti ćeš bdjeti nad nama, od naraštaja ovog čuvat’ nas svagda,	8 Thou, O Lord, wilt preserve us.: and keep us from this generation for ever.
9 pa nek’ se okolo vrzu zlotvori, nek’ se izdižu ljudi najgori.	9 The wicked walk round about: according to thy highness, thou best multiplied the children of men.
