< 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.
You people [think that you] are strong and brag about the sins that you have committed, while you plan to harm godly people.
2 Destruction it plots tongue your like a razor sharpened O doer of deceit.
All during the day you plan to get rid of [others]; what you say [MTY] [injures others] like a sharp razor [SIM], and you are [always] deceiving [others].
3 You love evil more than good falsehood - more than speaking righteousness (Selah)
You like [doing what is] evil more than you like doing what is good, and you like telling lies more than you like telling the truth.
4 You love all words of swallowing a tongue of deceit.
You who say things [MTY] to deceive people, you like to say (things that hurt people/cruel things)!
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)
But God will get rid of you forever; he will grab you and drag you from your home and take you away from this world where people are alive.
6 So they may see righteous [people] so they may fear and on him they will laugh.
When righteous [people] see that, they will be awestruck, and they will laugh at [what happened to] you, and say,
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.
“Look [what happened to] the man who would not ask God to protect him; he trusted that his great wealth [would save him]; he trusted in the money that he got by wickedly taking it from others!”
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.
But I am [secure/safe because I worship] in God’s temple; I am like a [strong] green olive tree. I trust in God, who faithfully loves us forever.
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.
God, I will always thank you for the things that you have done. As I stand before godly [people], I will proclaim that you are good (OR, the many good [MTY] [things you have done for us]).
