Psalms 52

1 TO THE OVERSEER. AN INSTRUCTION OF DAVID, IN THE COMING IN OF DOEG THE EDOMITE, AND HE DECLARES TO SAUL AND SAYS TO HIM, “DAVID CAME TO THE HOUSE OF AHIMELECH.” Why do you boast in evil, O mighty one? The kindness of God [is] all the day.

O Fanalolahio, ino ty firoharohà’o hatsivokarañe? Lomoñandro ty ­fiferenaiñan’ Añahare.

2 Your tongue devises mischiefs, Like a sharp razor, working deceit.

Mikilily ­fandrotsahañe ty famele’o, manahake ty fiharatse masioñe; ty mpamañahy tia.

3 You have loved evil rather than good, Lying, than speaking righteousness. (Selah)

Tea’o ty raty te ami’ty soa; i lañitsey ta te hivolan-to. Selà

4 You have loved all devouring words, O you deceitful tongue.

No’o ze atao fivolan-katramoañe, ty fameleke mamañahy tia.

5 Also—God breaks you down forever, Takes you, and pulls you out of the tent, And He has uprooted you Out of the land of the living. (Selah)

Aa le harotsan’Añahare kitro-katroke, ho sintone’e, le hapitso’e amy kiboho’oy, vaho hombota’e an-tanen-kaveloñe. Selà

6 And the righteous see, And fear, and laugh at him.

Ho isa’ o vantañeo, naho hañeveñe vaho hiankahake ty hoe:

7 “Behold, the man who does not make God his strong place, And trusts in the abundance of his riches, He is strong in his mischiefs.”

Hehe t’indaty tsy nanao an’Andrianañahare ho fipalira’e; fe ty habei’ o vara’eo ty niatoa’e, vaho o fikinia’eo ty nihaozara’e.

8 And I, as a green olive in the house of God, I have trusted in the kindness of God, For all time and forever,

Aa naho izaho, le hoe sakoa mandrevake añ’anjomban’Añahare ao; iatoako nainai’e donia ty fiferenaiñan’ Añahare,

9 I thank You for all time, because You have done [it], And I wait [on] Your Name for [it is] good before Your saints!

Andriañeko nainai’e irehe, amy te Ihe ty nanao izay, vaho ho tamaeko i tahina’oy ie ty soa añatrefa’ o noro’oo.
