Psalms 52

1 For the Leader. Maschil of David; when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him: 'David is come to the house of Ahimelech.' Why boastest thou thyself of evil, O mighty man? The mercy of God endureth continually.

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

2 Thy tongue deviseth destruction; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

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

3 Thou lovest evil more than good; falsehood rather than speaking righteousness. (Selah)

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

4 Thou lovest all devouring words, the deceitful tongue.

Ljubiš vse lakomne besede, oh ti varljiv jezik.

5 God will likewise break thee for ever, He will take thee up, and pluck thee out of thy tent, and root thee out of the land of the living. (Selah)

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

6 The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:

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

7 'Lo, this is the man that made not God his stronghold; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.'

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

8 But as for me, I am like a leafy olive-tree in the house of God; I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.

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

9 I will give Thee thanks for ever, because Thou hast done it; and I will wait for Thy name, for it is good, in the presence of Thy saints.

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