Psalmi 52

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

Unto the end. The understanding of David. When Doeg the Edomite came and reported to Saul, David went to the house of Ahimelech. Why do you glory in malice, you who are powerful in iniquity?

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

All day long your tongue thinks up injustice. Like a sharp razor, you have wrought deceit.

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

You have loved malice above goodness, and iniquity more than speaking righteousness.

4 Ljubiš vse lakomne besede, oh ti varljiv jezik.

You have loved all precipitous words, you deceitful tongue.

5 Bog te bo prav tako uničil za vedno, odvedel te bo stran in izpulil iz tvojega prebivališča in izkoreninil iz dežele živih. (Sela)

Because of this, God will destroy you in the end. He will pull you up, and he will remove you from your tabernacle and your root from the land of the living.

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

The just will see and be afraid, and they will laugh over him, and say:

7 »Glej! To je človek, ki ni storil Boga [za] svojo moč, temveč je zaupal v obilje svojega bogastva in se okrepil v svoji zlobnosti.«

“Behold the man who did not set God as his helper. But he hoped in the multitude of his riches, and so he prevailed in his emptiness.”

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

But I, like a fruitful olive tree in the house of God, have hoped in the mercy of God unto eternity, and forever and ever.

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

I will confess to you forever, because you have accomplished it. And I will wait on your name, for it is good in the sight of your saints.
