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.
Til Sangmesteren; en Undervisning af David,
2 Your tongue plans destruction like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
der Edomiteren Doeg kom med Underretning til Saul og sagde til ham: David er kommen i Akimeleks Hus.
3 You love evil more than good and lying rather than speaking righteousness. (Selah)
Hvorfor roser du dig af Ondskab, du vældige? Guds Miskundhed varer den ganske Dag.
4 You love all words that devour others, you deceitful tongue.
Paa idel Skade arbejder din Tunge, som en skærpet Ragekniv, du, som øver Svig!
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)
Du elsker ondt mere end godt, Løgn fremfor at tale Retfærdighed. (Sela)
6 The righteous will also see it and fear; they will laugh at him and say,
Du elsker alle fordærvelige Ord, du svigefulde Tunge!
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.”
Men Gud skal og nedbryde dig for evig Tid; han skal borttage dig og udrydde dig af Teltet, ja, oprykke dig med Rode af de levendes Land. (Sela)
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.
Og de retfærdige skulle se det og frygte og spotte over ham og sige:
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.
Se der den Mand, som ikke holdt Gud for sin Styrke, men forlod sig paa sin megen Rigdom, blev stærk ved sin Ondskab! Men jeg er som et grønt Olietræ i Guds Hus; jeg forlader mig paa Guds Miskundhed evindelig og altid. Jeg vil takke dig evindelig, thi du gjorde det; og jeg vil bie efter dit Navn — thi det er godt — i Paasyn af dine hellige.
