< Psalms 52 >

1 For the end, [a Psalm] of instruction by David, when Doec the Idumean came and told Saul, and said to him, David is gone to the house of Abimelech. Why dost thou, O mighty man, boast of iniquity in [thy] mischief? All the day
Načelniku godbe, pesem Davidova ukovita. Ko je Doeg Idumejec prišel in naznanil Savlu ter rekel mu: David je obiskal hišo Abimelekovo. Kaj se šopiriš v hudobi, o mogočni? Milost Boga mogočnega trpi vsak dan.
2 thy tongue has devised unrighteousness; like a sharpened razor thou hast wrought deceit.
Bridkosti izmišljene napravljaš z jezikom svojim; podoben je ostri britvi, ti zvijače snovatelj!
3 Thou hast loved wickedness more than goodness; unrighteousness better than to speak righteousness. (Pause)
Hudo ljubiš bolj ko dobro, laž bolj ko govoriti pravico, presilno.
4 Thou has loved all words of destruction, [and] a deceitful tongue.
Ljubil si vse besede pogubne, jezik zvijačen.
5 Therefore may God destroy thee for ever, may he pluck thee up and utterly remove thee from [thy] dwelling, and thy root from the land of the living. (Pause)
Tudi to Bog mogočni podere na vekomaj; zgrabi te in izdere iz šatora; in s kórena te izpuli iz dežele živečih, presilno.
6 And the righteous shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him, and say,
To bodejo videli pravični v Božjem strahu, in njemu se smijali:
7 Behold the man who made not God his help; but trusted in the abundance of his wealth, and strengthened himself in his vanity.
Glej onega moža, ki si ni bil vzel Boga za brambo; nego zanašal se je na bogastva svojega obilost, in utrjal se v hudobi svoji.
8 But I am as a fruitful olive in the house of God: I have trusted in the mercy of God for ever, even for evermore.
Jaz pa, kakor oljka zeleneča v hiši Božji, zaupam milosti Božji na vedno večne čase.
9 I will give thanks to thee for ever, for thou hast done [it]: and I will wait on thy name; for [it is] good before the saints.
Slavil te bodem vekomaj, ker si storil to; in čakal bodem imena tvojega, ker si dober, pred njimi, katerim deliš milost.
