Psalm 52

1 శూరుడా, చేసిన కీడునుబట్టి నీ వెందుకు అతిశయ పడుచున్నావు? దేవుని కృప నిత్యముండును.

2 మోసము చేయువాడా, వాడిగల మంగల కత్తివలె నీ నాలుక నాశనము చేయ నుద్దేశించుచున్నది

3 మేలుకంటె కీడుచేయుటయు నీతి పలుకుటకంటె అబద్ధము చెప్పుటయు నీకిష్టము.(సెలా.)

4 కపటమైన నాలుక గలవాడా, అధిక నాశనకరములైన మాటలే నీకిష్టము.

5 కావున దేవుడు సదాకాలము నిన్ను అణగగొట్టును నిన్ను పట్టుకొని ఆయన నీ గుడారములోనుండి నిన్ను పెల్లగించును సజీవుల దేశములోనుండి నిన్ను నిర్మూలము చేయును.(సెలా.)

6 నీతిమంతులు చూచి భయభక్తులు కలిగి

7 ఇదిగో దేవుని తనకు దుర్గముగా నుంచుకొనక తన ధనసమృద్ధియందు నమి్మక యుంచి తన చేటును బలపరచుకొనినవాడు వీడేయని చెప్పు కొనుచు వానిని చూచి నవ్వుదురు.

8 నేనైతే దేవుని మందిరములో పచ్చని ఒలీవ చెట్టువలె నున్నాను నిత్యము దేవుని కృపయందు నమి్మక యుంచుచున్నాను

9 నీవు దాని నెరవేర్చితివి గనుక నేను నిత్యము నిన్ను స్తుతించెదను. నీ నామము నీ భక్తుల దృష్టికి ఉత్తమమైనది నేను దాని స్మరించి కనిపెట్టుచున్నాను.

1 To the chief Musician, Maschil, A Psalm of David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David is come to the house of Ahimelech.

2 Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth continually.

3 Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

4 Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.

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

6 God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of thy dwelling place, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah.

7 The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:

8 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.

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

10 I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name; for it is good before thy saints.

0 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.

1 I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

2 He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

3 And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord.

4 Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

5 Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

6 Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.

7 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,

8 I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.

9 I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O Lord, thou knowest.

10 I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.

11 Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Lord: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.

12 For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.

13 Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me: O Lord, make haste to help me.

14 Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.

15 Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.

16 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The Lord be magnified.

17 But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.
