Psalms 12

KING JAMES BIBLE	Biblija Hrvatski
1 Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.	1 Zborovođi. U oktavi. Psalam. Davidov.
2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.	2 U pomoć, Jahve, jer nestaje pobožnih, vjernosti nema više među ljudima!
3 The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:	3 Svatko laže svome bližnjemu, govori usnama lažljivim i srcem dvoličnim.
4 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?	4 Istrijebi, Jahve, sve usne lažljive i jezik hvastavi;
5 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 from him that puffeth at him.	5 one što zbore: »Jezik je naša snaga, naše su usne za nas: tko nam što može?«
6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.	6 »Zbog nevolje tlačenih i jauka ubogih sada ću ustati« – govori Jahve – »spasenje donijet’ onom tko ga želi.«
7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.	7 Riječi su Jahvine riječi iskrene, srebro prokušano, od zemlje odvojeno, sedam puta očišćeno.
8 The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.	8 O Jahve, ti ćeš bdjeti nad nama, od naraštaja ovog čuvat’ nas svagda,
	9 pa nek’ se okolo vrzu zlotvori, nek’ se izdižu ljudi najgori.
