Psalms 52

1 To the choirmaster a poem of David. When came - Doeg the Edomite and he told to Saul and he said to him he has gone David to [the] house of Ahimelech. Why? do you boast in evil O mighty [man] [the] covenant loyalty of God [is] all the day.

(Til sangmesteren. En maskil af David, da edomitten Doeg kom og meldte Saul, at David var gået ind i Ahimeleks hus.) Du stærke, hvi bryster du dig af din Ondskab imod den fromme?

2 Destruction it plots tongue your like a razor sharpened O doer of deceit.

Du pønser hele Dagen på ondt; din Tunge er hvas som en Kniv, du Rænkesmed,

3 You love evil more than good falsehood - more than speaking righteousness (Selah)

du foretrækker ondt for godt, Løgn for sanddru Tale. (Sela)

4 You love all words of swallowing a tongue of deceit.

Du elsker al ødelæggende Tale, du falske Tunge!

5 Also God he will tear down you to perpetuity he will snatch up you and he will tear away you from a tent and he will root up you from [the] land of living [people] (Selah)

Derfor styrte Gud dig for evigt, han gribe dig, rive dig ud af dit Telt, han rykke dig op af de levendes Land! (Sela)

6 So they may see righteous [people] so they may fear and on him they will laugh.

De retfærdige ser det, frygter og håner ham leende:

7 There! the man [who] not he made God refuge his and he trusted in [the] greatness of rich[es] his he was strong in destruction his.

"Se der den Mand, der ej gjorde Gud til sit Værn, men stoled på sin megen Rigdom, trodsede på sin Velstand!"

8 And I - [am] like an olive tree luxuriant in [the] house of God I trust in [the] covenant loyalty of God forever and ever.

Men jeg er som et frodigt Olietræ i Guds Hus, Guds Miskundhed stoler jeg evigt og altid på.

9 I will give thanks to you for ever for you have acted and I may wait for name your for [it is] good before faithful [people] your.

Evindelig takker jeg dig, fordi du greb ind; jeg vidner iblandt dine fromme, at godt er dit Navn.
