Psalms 52

1 Unto the end. The understanding of David. When Doeg the Edomite came and reported to Saul, David went to the house of Ahimelech. Why do you glory in malice, you who are powerful in iniquity?

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

2 All day long your tongue thinks up injustice. Like a sharp razor, you have wrought deceit.

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

3 You have loved malice above goodness, and iniquity more than speaking righteousness.

Voliš zlo nego dobro, voliš lagati nego istinu govoriti.

4 You have loved all precipitous words, you deceitful tongue.

Ljubiš svakojake rijeèi od pogibli, i jezik lukav.

5 Because of this, God will destroy you in the end. He will pull you up, and he will remove you from your tabernacle and your root 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 just will see and be afraid, and they will laugh over him, and say:

Vidjeæe pravednici i pobojaæe se, i potsmijevaæe mu se:

7 “Behold the man who did not set God as his helper. But he hoped in the multitude of his riches, and so he prevailed in his emptiness.”

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

8 But I, like a fruitful olive tree in the house of God, have hoped in the mercy of God unto eternity, and forever and ever.

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

9 I will confess to you forever, because you have accomplished it. And I will wait on your name, for it is good in the sight of your saints.

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