Psalmi 52

1 Zborovođi. Poučna pjesma. Davidova. Kad je Edomac Doeg Šaulu javio: “David je ušao u kuću Abimelekovu. Što se to hvališ pakošću, silniče nesmiljeni?

Unto the end. The understanding of David. When Doeg the Edomite came and reported to Saul, David went to the house of Ahimelech. Why do you glory in malice, you who are powerful in iniquity?

2 Neprestano snuješ o propasti, jezik ti je britva nabrušena, spletkaru!

All day long your tongue thinks up injustice. Like a sharp razor, you have wrought deceit.

3 Zlo voliš više nego dobro, i laž više nego pravednost!

You have loved malice above goodness, and iniquity more than speaking righteousness.

4 Mili su ti pogubni govori, lažljivi jeziče!

You have loved all precipitous words, you deceitful tongue.

5 Bog će te zato satrti, zauvijek te ukloniti; iščupat će te iz tvog šatora, iskorijeniti iz zemlje živih.

Because of this, God will destroy you in the end. He will pull you up, and he will remove you from your tabernacle and your root from the land of the living.

6 Pravednici će gledati s užasom i njemu se smijati:

The just will see and be afraid, and they will laugh over him, and say:

7 “Gle čovjeka koji ne uze Boga za svoju zaštitu, već se uzdao u veliko bogatstvo i osilio u svojim zločinima!”

“Behold the man who did not set God as his helper. But he hoped in the multitude of his riches, and so he prevailed in his emptiness.”

8 A ja, k'o zelena maslina u Domu Božjem, uzdam se u Božju dobrotu dovijeka.

But I, like a fruitful olive tree in the house of God, have hoped in the mercy of God unto eternity, and forever and ever.

9 Hvalit ću te svagda što si to učinio i slavit ću tvoje ime, jer je dobrostivo, pred licem tvojih pobožnika.

I will confess to you forever, because you have accomplished it. And I will wait on your name, for it is good in the sight of your saints.
