Psalms 140

1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Deliver me, O LORD, from the evil man; preserve me from the violent man:

Izbavi me, Gospode, od èovjeka zloga, saèuvaj me od nasilnika,

2 Which imagine mischiefs in their heart; continually do they gather themselves together for war.

Koji pomišljaju zlo u srcu i svaki dan podižu rat;

3 They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent; adders’ poison is under their lips. (Selah)

Oštre jezik svoj kao zmija, jed je aspidin u ustima njihovijem.

4 Keep me, O LORD, from the hands of the wicked; preserve me from the violent man: Who have purposed to thrust aside my steps.

Saèuvaj me, Bože, od ruku bezbožnièkih, od nasilnika sahrani me, koji misle da potkinu noge moje.

5 The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the way side; they have set gins for me. (Selah)

Oholi mi namjestiše zamke i prugla, metnuše mi mrežu na put, preðu razapeše mi.

6 I said unto the LORD, Thou art my God: give ear unto the voice of my supplications, O LORD.

Rekoh Gospodu: ti si Bog moj, usliši, Gospode, glas moljenja mojega.

7 O GOD the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.

Gospode, Gospode, krjepki spasitelju moj, zakloni glavu moju u dan ratni!

8 Grant not, O LORD, the desires of the wicked; further not his evil device; [lest] they exalt themselves. (Selah)

Ne daj, Gospode, bezbožniku što želi, ne daj mu da dokuèi što je naumio, da se ne uznose.

9 As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.

Otrov onijeh što su oko mene, pogibao usta njihovijeh neka se obrati na njih.

10 Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.

Neka padne na njih živo ugljevlje; neka ih on baci u oganj, u propasti, da ne ustanu.

11 An evil speaker shall not be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him.

Èovjek jezièan neæe se utvrditi na zemlji, nepravednoga æe zloæa uvaliti u pogibao.

12 I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the needy.

Znam da æe Gospod pokazati pravdu nevoljnome i pravicu ubogima.

13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence.

Da! pravedni æe slaviti ime tvoje, pravi æe ostati pred licem tvojim.
