Psalms 52

Berean Standard Bible tier 2Smith–Van Dyck tier 2
BSB

1 For the choirmaster. A Maskil of David. After Doeg the Edomite went to Saul and told him, “David has gone to the house of Ahimelech.” Why do you boast of evil, O mighty man? The loving devotion of God endures all day long.

SVD

1 لِمَاذَا تَفْتَخِرُ بِٱلشَّرِّ أَيُّهَا ٱلْجَبَّارُ؟ رَحْمَةُ ٱللهِ هِيَ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ!

BSB

2 Your tongue devises destruction like a sharpened razor, O worker of deceit.

SVD

2 لِسَانُكَ يَخْتَرِعُ مَفَاسِدَ. كَمُوسَى مَسْنُونَةٍ يَعْمَلُ بِٱلْغِشِّ.

BSB

3 You love evil more than good, falsehood more than speaking truth. Selah

SVD

3 أَحْبَبْتَ ٱلشَّرَّ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ ٱلْخَيْرِ، ٱلْكَذِبَ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ ٱلتَّكَلُّمِ بِٱلصِّدْقِ. سِلَاهْ.

BSB

4 You love every word that devours, O deceitful tongue.

SVD

4 أَحْبَبْتَ كُلَّ كَلَامٍ مُهْلِكٍ، وَلِسَانِ غِشٍّ.

BSB

5 Surely God will bring you down to everlasting ruin; He will snatch you up and tear you away from your tent; He will uproot you from the land of the living. Selah

SVD

5 أَيْضًا يَهْدِمُكَ ٱللهُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. يَخْطَفُكَ وَيَقْلَعُكَ مِنْ مَسْكَنِكَ، وَيَسْتَأْصِلُكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ ٱلْأَحْيَاءِ. سِلَاهْ.

BSB

6 The righteous will see and fear; they will mock the evildoer, saying,

SVD

6 فَيَرَى ٱلصِّدِّيقُونَ وَيَخَافُونَ، وَعَلَيْهِ يَضْحَكُونَ:

BSB

7 “Look at the man who did not make God his refuge, but trusted in the abundance of his wealth and strengthened himself by destruction.”

SVD

7 «هُوَذَا ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ يَجْعَلِ ٱللهَ حِصْنَهُ، بَلِ ٱتَّكَلَ عَلَى كَثْرَةِ غِنَاهُ وَٱعْتَزَّ بِفَسَادِهِ».

BSB

8 But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in the loving devotion of God forever and ever.

SVD

8 أَمَّا أَنَا فَمِثْلُ زَيْتُونَةٍ خَضْرَاءَ فِي بَيْتِ ٱللهِ. تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى رَحْمَةِ ٱللهِ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ وَٱلْأَبَدِ.

BSB

9 I will praise You forever, because You have done it. I will wait on Your name—for it is good—in the presence of Your saints.

SVD

9 أَحْمَدُكَ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ لِأَنَّكَ فَعَلْتَ، وَأَنْتَظِرُ ٱسْمَكَ فَإِنَّهُ صَالِحٌ قُدَّامَ أَتْقِيَائِكَ.
