1For 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 Abimelech. Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? The lovingkindness of God [endureth] continually.
1Laulujuhatajale: Taaveti õpetuslaul,
2Thy tongue deviseth very wickedness, Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
2kui edomlane Doeg tuli ja teatas Saulile ning ütles: 'Taavet on tulnud Ahimeleki kotta.'
3Thou lovest evil more than good, And lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah
3Mis sa kiitled kurjusest, sa vägivaldne mees? Jumala heldus püsib kogu päeva.
4Thou lovest all devouring words, thou deceitful tongue.
4Sa kavatsed kadu, su keel on nagu terav habemenuga, sa pettuse tegija.
5God will likewise destroy 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
5Sa armastad kurja rohkem kui head, rohkem valetada kui õigust rääkida. Sela.
6The righteous also shall see [it], and fear, And shall laugh at him, [saying],
6Sa armastad kõiksugu hukutavaid sõnu, petlikku keelt.
7Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength, But trusted in the abundance of his riches, And strengthened himself in his wickedness.
7Jumal kisub ka sinu igavesti maha; ta võtab su kinni ning rebib su välja su telgist ja kaotab su juureni ära elavate maalt. Sela.
8But as for me, I am like a green olive-tree in the house of God: I trust in the lovingkindness of God for ever and ever.
8Õiged näevad seda ja kardavad; ja nad naeravad teda:
9I will give thee thanks for ever, because thou hast done it; And I will hope in thy name, for it is good, in the presence of thy saints.
9'Ennäe seda meest, kes ei pannud Jumalat oma tugevuseks, vaid lootis oma suure rikkuse peale; ta oli tugev oma nurjatuses.'
10Mina aga olen nagu haljas õlipuu Jumala kojas, ma loodan Jumala helduse peale ikka ja igavesti.
11Ma tänan sind igavesti, et sa nõnda oled teinud, ja ootan su nime, sest su nimi on hea su vagade jaoks.
