Psalms 52

1 For the Chief Musician. 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 in mischief, O mighty man? the mercy of God [endureth] continually.

Uzincomelani ngokubi, qhawe? Umusa kaNkulunkulu ukulo lonke usuku.

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

Ulimi lwakho luceba konke ukuganga, njengensingo ebukhali, lwenza inkohliso.

3 Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. (Selah)

Uthanda okubi kulokuhle; amanga kulokukhuluma iqiniso. (Sela)

4 Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.

Uthanda wonke amazwi okuginya, limi lwenkohliso.

5 God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee up, and pluck thee out of thy tent, and root thee out of the land of the living. (Selah)

UNkulunkulu laye uzakubhidliza phakade, akususe, akuhluthune ethenteni, akusiphune elizweni labaphilayo. (Sela)

6 The righteous also shall see [it], and fear, and shall laugh at him, [saying],

Abalungileyo bazakubona besabe, bazamhleka, besithi:

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

Khangelani, umuntu ongamenzanga uNkulunkulu abe yinqaba yakhe, kodwa wathembela ebunengini benotho yakhe, eqinile ekugangeni kwakhe.

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

Kodwa nginjengesihlahla somhlwathi esiluhlaza endlini kaNkulunkulu. Ngiyathemba emuseni kaNkulunkulu phakade laphakade.

9 I will give thee thanks for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name, for it is good, in the presence of thy saints.

Ngizakudumisa kuze kube phakade ngoba ukwenzile. Ngizalindela ibizo lakho, ngoba lihle phambi kwabangcwele bakho.
