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?

To the chief music-maker. Maschil. Of David. When Doeg the Edomite came to Saul saying, David has come to the house of Ahimelech. Why do you take pride in wrongdoing, lifting yourself up against the upright man all the day?

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

Purposing destruction, using deceit; your tongue is like a sharp blade.

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

You have more love for evil than for good, for deceit than for works of righteousness. (Selah)

4 Mili su ti pogubni govori, lažljivi jeziče!

Destruction is in all your words, O false tongue.

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

But God will put an end to you for ever; driving you out from your tent, uprooting you from the land of the living. (Selah)

6 Pravednici će gledati s užasom i njemu se smijati:

The upright will see it with fear, and will say, laughing at you:

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

See, this is the man who did not make God his strength, but had faith in his goods and his property, and made himself strong in his wealth.

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

But I am like a branching olive-tree in the house of God; I have put my faith in his mercy for ever 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 give you praise without end for what you have done; I will give honour to your name before your saints, for it is good.
