Psalms 52

1 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.

Što se hvališ nevaljalstvom, silni? Milost je Božija svaki dan sa mnom.

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

Nepravdu izmišlja jezik tvoj; on je u tebe kao britva naoštrena, lukavi!

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

Voliš zlo nego dobro, voliš lagati nego istinu govoriti.

4 You love every word that devours, O deceitful tongue.

Ljubiš svakojake rijeèi od pogibli, i jezik lukav.

5 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.

Toga radi Bog æe te poraziti sasvijem, izbaciæe te i išèupaæe te iz stana, i korijen tvoj iz zemlje živijeh.

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

Vidjeæe pravednici i pobojaæe se, i potsmijevaæe mu se:

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

Gle èovjeka koji ne držaše u Bogu krjeposti svoje, nego se uzdaše u velièinu bogatstva svojega i utvrðivaše se zloæom svojom.

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

A ja, kao maslina zelena u domu Gospodnjem, uzdam se u milost Božiju bez prestanka i dovijeka.

9 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.

Dovijeka æu hvaliti tebe, jer dobro èiniš, i uzdaæu se u ime tvoje; jer si dobar k svecima svojim.
