Psalms 52

1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid to giue instruction. When Doeg the Edomite came and shewed Saul, and saide to him, Dauid is come to the house of Abimelech. Why boastest thou thy selfe in thy wickednesse, O man of power? the louing kindenesse of God indureth dayly.

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

2 Thy tongue imagineth mischiefe, and is like a sharpe rasor, that cutteth deceitfully.

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

3 Thou doest loue euill more then good, and lies more then to speake the trueth. (Selah)

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

4 Thou louest all wordes that may destroye, O deceitfull tongue!

Ljubiš vse lakomne besede, oh ti varljiv jezik.

5 So shall God destroy thee for euer: he shall take thee and plucke thee out of thy tabernacle, and roote thee out of ye land of the liuing. (Selah)

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 also shall see it, and feare, and shall laugh at him, saying,

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

7 Beholde the man that tooke not God for his strength, but trusted vnto the multitude of his riches, and put his strength in his malice.

»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 shall bee like a greene oliue tree in the house of God: for I trusted in the mercie of God for euer and euer.

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

9 I will alway praise thee, for that thou hast done this, and I will hope in thy Name, because it is good before thy Saints.

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