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 Chief Musician. A contemplation by David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, "David has come to Abimelech's house."] Why do you boast of mischief, mighty man? God's loving kindness endures continually.

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

Your tongue plots destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

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

You love evil more than good, lying rather than speaking the truth. (Selah)

4 Mili su ti pogubni govori, lažljivi jeziče!

You love all devouring words, you deceitful tongue.

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

God will likewise destroy you forever. He will take you up, and pluck you out of your tent, and root you out of the land of the living. (Selah)

6 Pravednici će gledati s užasom i njemu se smijati:

The righteous also will see it, and fear, and laugh at him, saying,

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

"Look, this is the man who did not make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and was confident in his desire."

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

But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in God's house. I trust in God's loving kindness 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 give you thanks forever, because you have done it. I will hope in your name, for it is good, in the presence of your faithful ones.
