Psalms 52

1 Unto the end, understanding for David, When Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul David went to the house of Achimelech. Why dost thou glory in malice, thou that art mighty in iniquity?

Uzincomelani ngokubi, qhawe? Umusa kaNkulunkulu ukulo lonke usuku.

2 All the day long thy tongue hath devised injustice: as a sharp razor, thou hast wrought deceit.

Ulimi lwakho luceba konke ukuganga, njengensingo ebukhali, lwenza inkohliso.

3 Thou hast loved malice more than goodness: and iniquity rather than to speak righteousness.

Uthanda okubi kulokuhle; amanga kulokukhuluma iqiniso. (Sela)

4 Thou hast loved all the words of ruin, O deceitful tongue.

Uthanda wonke amazwi okuginya, limi lwenkohliso.

5 Therefore will God destroy thee for ever: he will pluck thee out, and remove thee from thy dwelling place: and thy root out of the land of the living.

UNkulunkulu laye uzakubhidliza phakade, akususe, akuhluthune ethenteni, akusiphune elizweni labaphilayo. (Sela)

6 The just shall see and fear, and shall laugh at him, and say:

Abalungileyo bazakubona besabe, bazamhleka, besithi:

7 Behold the man that made not God his helper: But trusted in the abundance of his riches: and prevailed in his vanity.

Khangelani, umuntu ongamenzanga uNkulunkulu abe yinqaba yakhe, kodwa wathembela ebunengini benotho yakhe, eqinile ekugangeni kwakhe.

8 But I, as a fruitful olive tree in the house of God, have hoped in the mercy of God for ever, yea for ever and ever.

Kodwa nginjengesihlahla somhlwathi esiluhlaza endlini kaNkulunkulu. Ngiyathemba emuseni kaNkulunkulu phakade laphakade.

9 I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name, for it is good in the sight of thy saints.

Ngizakudumisa kuze kube phakade ngoba ukwenzile. Ngizalindela ibizo lakho, ngoba lihle phambi kwabangcwele bakho.
