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.

Zakaj se bahaš z vragolijo, oh mogočen človek? Božja dobrota vztraja nenehno.

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

Tvoj jezik snuje vragolije, kakor ostra britev, ki dela varljivo.

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

Bolj ljubiš zlo kakor dobro in laganje bolj kakor govoriti pravičnost. (Sela)

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

Ljubiš vse lakomne besede, oh ti varljiv jezik.

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.

Bog te bo prav tako uničil za vedno, odvedel te bo stran in izpulil iz tvojega prebivališča in izkoreninil iz dežele živih. (Sela)

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

Tudi pravični bodo videli in se bali ter se mu posmehovali:

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.”

»Glej! To je človek, ki ni storil Boga [za] svojo moč, temveč je zaupal v obilje svojega bogastva in se okrepil v svoji zlobnosti.«

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.

Toda jaz sem podoben zeleni oljki v Božji hiši. V Božje usmiljenje zaupam na veke vekov.

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.

Hvalil te bom na veke, ker si ti to storil in čakal bom na tvoje ime, kajti to je dobro pred tvojimi svetimi.
