Psalms 52

1 For the chief musician. A maschil of David; when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said to him, “David has come to the house of Ahimelech.” Why are you proud of making trouble, you mighty man? The covenant faithfulness of God comes every day.

Zborovođi. Poučna pjesma. Davidova. Kad je Edomac Doeg Šaulu javio: “David je ušao u kuću Abimelekovu. Što se to hvališ pakošću, silniče nesmiljeni?

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

Neprestano snuješ o propasti, jezik ti je britva nabrušena, spletkaru!

3 You love evil more than good and lying rather than speaking righteousness. (Selah)

Zlo voliš više nego dobro, i laž više nego pravednost!

4 You love all words that devour others, you deceitful tongue.

Mili su ti pogubni govori, lažljivi jeziče!

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)

Bog će te zato satrti, zauvijek te ukloniti; iščupat će te iz tvog šatora, iskorijeniti iz zemlje živih.

6 The righteous will also see it and fear; they will laugh at him and say,

Pravednici će gledati s užasom i njemu se smijati:

7 “See, this is a man who did not make God his refuge, but he trusted in the abundance of his wealth, and he was strong when he destroyed others.”

“Gle čovjeka koji ne uze Boga za svoju zaštitu, već se uzdao u veliko bogatstvo i osilio u svojim zločinima!”

8 But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in God's house; I will trust in the covenant faithfulness of God forever and ever.

A ja, k'o zelena maslina u Domu Božjem, uzdam se u Božju dobrotu dovijeka.

9 I will give you thanks forever for what you have done. I will wait for your name, because it is good, in the presence of your godly people.

Hvalit ću te svagda što si to učinio i slavit ću tvoje ime, jer je dobrostivo, pred licem tvojih pobožnika.
