Zaburi 52
1 Kwa nini wewe unajivunia kufanya uovu, wewe mtu mwenye nguvu? Uaminifu wa agano la Mungu huja kila siku.
To the chief Musician: an instruction. Of David; when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David came to the house of Ahimelech. Why boastest thou thyself in evil, thou mighty man? The loving-kindness of God [abideth] continually.
2 Ulimi wako hupanga uharibifu kama wembe mkali, na kufanya udanganyifu.
Thy tongue deviseth mischievous things, like a sharp razor, practising deceit.
3 Wewe unapenda uovu kuliko wema na udanganifu kuliko kuongea haki. (Selah)
Thou hast loved evil rather than good, lying rather than to speak righteousness. (Selah)
4 Wewe hupenda maneno ambayo huwaumiza wengine, wewe ulimi mdanganyifu.
Thou hast loved all devouring words, O deceitful tongue!
5 Vivyo hivyo Mungu atakuadhibu wewe milele; yeye atakuchukua na kukuondoa katika hema yako na kukung'oa katika ardhi ya uhai. (Selah)
God shall likewise destroy thee for ever; he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of [thy] tent, and root thee out of the land of the living. (Selah)
6 Wenye haki pia wataona na kuogopa; watamcheka na kusema,
The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him, [saying, ]
7 “Tazama, huyu ni mtu ambaye hakumfanya Mungu kuwa kimbilio lake la usalama, bali aliamini katika wingi wa mali zake, naye alikuwa na nguvu alipowaharibu wengine.”
Behold the man that made not God his strength, but put confidence in the abundance of his riches, [and] strengthened himself in his avarice.
8 Lakini kwangu mimi, niko kama mti bora wa mzeituni katika nyumba ya Mungu; Nami nitaamini uaminifu wa agano la Mungu milele na milele.
But as for me, I am like a green olive-tree in the house of God: I will confide in the loving-kindness of God for ever and ever.
9 Nitakushukuru wewe daima kwa uliyo tenda. Nitalisubiri jina lako, kwa sababu ni zuri, uweponi mwa wantu wako wa kimungu.
I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done [it]; and I will wait on thy name, before thy godly ones, for it is good.
