1Why do you boast of mischief, mighty man? God’s loving kindness endures continually.
1Zborovođi. Poučna pjesma. Davidova. Kad je Edomac Doeg Šaulu javio: "David je ušao u kuću Abimelekovu.
2Your tongue plots destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
2Što se to hvališ pakošću, silniče nesmiljeni?
3You love evil more than good, lying rather than speaking the truth. Selah.
3Neprestano snuješ o propasti, jezik ti je britva nabrušena, spletkaru!
4You love all devouring words, you deceitful tongue.
4Zlo voliš više nego dobro, i laž više nego pravednost!
5God will likewise destroy you forever. He will take you up, and pluck you out of your tent, and root you out of the land of the living. Selah.
5Mili su ti pogubni govori, lažljivi jeziče!
6The righteous also will see it, and fear, and laugh at him, saying,
6Bog će te zato satrti, zauvijek te ukloniti; iščupat će te iz tvog šatora, iskorijeniti iz zemlje živih.
7“Behold, this is the man who didn’t make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.”
7Pravednici će gledati s užasom i njemu se smijati:
8But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in God’s house. I trust in God’s loving kindness forever and ever.
8"Gle čovjeka koji ne uze Boga za svoju zaštitu, već se uzdao u veliko bogatstvo i osilio u svojim zločinima!"
9I will give you thanks forever, because you have done it. I will hope in your name, for it is good, in the presence of your saints.
9A ja, k'o zelena maslina u Domu Božjem, uzdam se u Božju dobrotu dovijeka.
10Hvalit ću te svagda što si to učinio i slavit ću tvoje ime, jer je dobrostivo, pred licem tvojih pobožnika.
