Psalm 52 52 Psalms Book 2 Arabic Literal Text 1 GLT لِمَاذَا تَفْتَخِرُ بِٱلشَّرِّ أَيُّهَا ٱلْجَبَّارُ؟ رَحْمَةُ ٱللهِ هِيَ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ! BSB BSB: 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.
2 GLT لِسَانُكَ يَخْتَرِعُ مَفَاسِدَ. كَمُوسَى مَسْنُونَةٍ يَعْمَلُ بِٱلْغِشِّ. BSB BSB: Your tongue devises destruction like a sharpened razor, O worker of deceit.
3 GLT أَحْبَبْتَ ٱلشَّرَّ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ ٱلْخَيْرِ، ٱلْكَذِبَ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ ٱلتَّكَلُّمِ بِٱلصِّدْقِ. سِلَاهْ. BSB BSB: You love evil more than good, falsehood more than speaking truth. Selah
4 GLT أَحْبَبْتَ كُلَّ كَلَامٍ مُهْلِكٍ، وَلِسَانِ غِشٍّ. BSB BSB: You love every word that devours, O deceitful tongue.
5 GLT أَيْضًا يَهْدِمُكَ ٱللهُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. يَخْطَفُكَ وَيَقْلَعُكَ مِنْ مَسْكَنِكَ، وَيَسْتَأْصِلُكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ ٱلْأَحْيَاءِ. سِلَاهْ. BSB BSB: 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
6 GLT فَيَرَى ٱلصِّدِّيقُونَ وَيَخَافُونَ، وَعَلَيْهِ يَضْحَكُونَ: BSB BSB: The righteous will see and fear; they will mock the evildoer, saying,
7 GLT «هُوَذَا ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ يَجْعَلِ ٱللهَ حِصْنَهُ، بَلِ ٱتَّكَلَ عَلَى كَثْرَةِ غِنَاهُ وَٱعْتَزَّ بِفَسَادِهِ». BSB BSB: “Look at the man who did not make God his refuge, but trusted in the abundance of his wealth and strengthened himself by destruction.”
8 GLT أَمَّا أَنَا فَمِثْلُ زَيْتُونَةٍ خَضْرَاءَ فِي بَيْتِ ٱللهِ. تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى رَحْمَةِ ٱللهِ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ وَٱلْأَبَدِ. BSB BSB: But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in the loving devotion of God forever and ever.
9 GLT أَحْمَدُكَ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ لِأَنَّكَ فَعَلْتَ، وَأَنْتَظِرُ ٱسْمَكَ فَإِنَّهُ صَالِحٌ قُدَّامَ أَتْقِيَائِكَ. BSB BSB: 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.
