Psalms 52

1 Why do you boast of mischief, mighty man? God’s chesed ·loving-kindness· endures continually.

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

2 Your tongue plots destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

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

3 You 'ahavta ·affectionately love· evil more than good, lying rather than speaking the truth. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

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

4 You 'ahavta ·affectionately love· all devouring words, you deceitful tongue.

Ljubiš vse lakomne besede, oh ti varljiv jezik.

5 God will likewise destroy you forever. He will take you up, and pluck you out of your tent, and root you out of the land of the living. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

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 upright also will see it, and fear, and laugh at him, saying,

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

7 “Behold, this is the man who didn’t make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.”

»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 as for me, I am like a green olive tree in God’s house. I trust in God’s chesed ·loving-kindness· forever and ever.

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

9 I will yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to you forever, because you have done it. I will hope in your name, for it is good, in the presence of your saints.

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