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.

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

Bridkosti izmišljene napravljaš z jezikom svojim; podoben je ostri britvi, ti zvijače snovatelj!

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

Hudo ljubiš bolj ko dobro, laž bolj ko govoriti pravico, presilno.

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

Ljubil si vse besede pogubne, jezik zvijačen.

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)

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 see, And fear, and laugh at him.

To bodejo videli pravični v Božjem strahu, in njemu se smijali:

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.”

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

Jaz pa, kakor oljka zeleneča v hiši Božji, zaupam milosti Božji na vedno večne čase.

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!

Slavil te bodem vekomaj, ker si storil to; in čakal bodem imena tvojega, ker si dober, pred njimi, katerim deliš milost.
