Psalmi 52

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

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.

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

Your tongue plans 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 and lying rather than speaking righteousness. (Selah)

4 Ljubiš vse lakomne besede, oh ti varljiv jezik.

You love all words that devour others, 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 will also see it and fear; they will laugh at 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.«

“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.”

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 will trust in the covenant faithfulness of God 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 for what you have done. I will wait for your name, because it is good, in the presence of your godly people.
