Psalmi 52

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

[For the Chief Musician. A contemplation by David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, "David has come to Abimelech's house."] Why do you boast of mischief, mighty man? God's loving kindness endures continually.

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

Your tongue plots destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

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

You love evil more than good, lying rather than speaking the truth. (Selah)

4 Ljubiš vse lakomne besede, oh ti varljiv jezik.

You love all devouring 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)

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)

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

The righteous also will see it, and fear, and laugh at him, saying,

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.«

"Look, this is the man who did not make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and was confident in his desire."

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

But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in God's house. I trust in God's loving kindness 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 give you thanks forever, because you have done it. I will hope in your name, for it is good, in the presence of your faithful ones.
