Psalmul 12
Către mai-marele cântăreţilor.
De cântat pe harpa cu opt coarde.
Un psalm al lui David
1 Vino în ajutor, Doamne, căci se duc oamenii evlavioşi(A),
pier credincioşii dintre fiii oamenilor.
2 Oamenii îşi spun minciuni(B) unii altora,
pe buze au lucruri linguşitoare(C), vorbesc cu inimă prefăcută.
3 Nimicească Domnul toate buzele linguşitoare,
limba care vorbeşte cu trufie(D),
4 pe cei ce zic: „Suntem tari cu limba noastră,
căci buzele noastre sunt cu noi. Cine ar putea să fie stăpân peste noi?”
5 Pentru că cei nenorociţi sunt asupriţi şi pentru că săracii gem,
„acum”, zice Domnul, „Mă scol(E) şi aduc mântuire celor obijduiţi(F)”.
6 Cuvintele Domnului sunt cuvinte(G) curate,
un argint lămurit în cuptor de pământ şi curăţit de şapte ori.
7 Tu, Doamne, îi vei păzi
şi-i vei apăra de neamul acesta pe vecie.
8 Pretutindeni mişună cei răi,
când domneşte ticăloşia printre fiii oamenilor.
Psalm 12
English Standard Version
The Faithful Have Vanished
To the choirmaster: according to The Sheminith.[a] A Psalm of David.
12 Save, O Lord, for (A)the godly one is gone;
for the faithful have vanished from among the children of man.
2 Everyone (B)utters lies to his neighbor;
with (C)flattering lips and (D)a double heart they speak.
3 May the Lord cut off all (E)flattering lips,
the tongue that makes (F)great boasts,
4 those who say, “With our tongue we will prevail,
our lips are with us; who is master over us?”
5 “Because (G)the poor are plundered, because the needy groan,
(H)I will now arise,” says the Lord;
“I will place him in the (I)safety for which he longs.”
6 (J)The words of the Lord are pure words,
like silver refined in a furnace on the ground,
purified seven times.
7 You, O Lord, will keep them;
you will guard us[b] from this generation forever.
8 On every side the wicked prowl,
as vileness is exalted among the children of man.
