Psalmi 52

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

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of Instruction, of David. When Doeg the Edomite went, and told Saul; and said to him, —David, hath entered the house of Ahimelech. Why dost thou boast thyself of wickedness, O mighty man? The lovingkindness of GOD, [lasteth] all the day.

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

Engulfing ruin, doth thy tongue devise, Like a whetted razor, working deceit;

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

Thou lovest Evil more than good, Falsehood, more than speaking righteousness. (Selah)

4 Ljubiš vse lakomne besede, oh ti varljiv jezik.

Thou lovest all devouring words, O 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 also, will break thee down utterly, He will snatch thee up and tear thee away tentless, And uproot thee, out of the land of the living. (Selah)

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

The righteous shall both see and fear, And, over him, shall laugh:

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.«

Lo! the man who made not God his refuge, —But trusted in the abundance of his riches, Emboldened himself in his wealth!

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

But, I, am like a flourishing olive-tree, in the house of God, I have put confidence in the lovingkindness of God, for times age-abiding and beyond.

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 praise thee to times age-abiding, Because thou didst effectually work, —And I will wait on thy Name, Because it is good, In the presence of thy men of lovingkindness.
