Psalmi 52

1 Zborovođi. Poučna pjesma. Davidova. Kad je Edomac Doeg Šaulu javio: “David je ušao u kuću Abimelekovu. Što se to hvališ pakošću, silniče nesmiljeni?

For the choirmaster. A Maskil of David. After Doeg the Edomite went to Saul and told him, “David has gone to the house of Ahimelech.” Why do you boast of evil, O mighty man? The loving devotion of God endures all day long.

2 Neprestano snuješ o propasti, jezik ti je britva nabrušena, spletkaru!

Your tongue devises destruction like a sharpened razor, O worker of deceit.

3 Zlo voliš više nego dobro, i laž više nego pravednost!

You love evil more than good, falsehood more than speaking truth.

4 Mili su ti pogubni govori, lažljivi jeziče!

You love every word that devours, O deceitful tongue.

5 Bog će te zato satrti, zauvijek te ukloniti; iščupat će te iz tvog šatora, iskorijeniti iz zemlje živih.

Surely God will bring you down to everlasting ruin; He will snatch you up and tear you away from your tent; He will uproot you from the land of the living.

6 Pravednici će gledati s užasom i njemu se smijati:

The righteous will see and fear; they will mock the evildoer, saying,

7 “Gle čovjeka koji ne uze Boga za svoju zaštitu, već se uzdao u veliko bogatstvo i osilio u svojim zločinima!”

“Look at the man who did not make God his refuge, but trusted in the abundance of his wealth and strengthened himself by destruction.”

8 A ja, k'o zelena maslina u Domu Božjem, uzdam se u Božju dobrotu dovijeka.

But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in the loving devotion of God forever and ever.

9 Hvalit ću te svagda što si to učinio i slavit ću tvoje ime, jer je dobrostivo, pred licem tvojih pobožnika.

I will praise You forever, because You have done it. I will wait on Your name— for it is good— in the presence of Your saints.
