Salmos 52

Reina Valera Contemporánea

Jactancia futil del malvado

Al músico principal. Masquil de David. De cuando Doeg el edomita fue a decirle a Saúl que David había estado en casa de Ajimélec.^(A)

52 Y tú, fanfarrón, ¿por qué presumes de tu maldad?
¡La misericordia de Dios es constante!
²Tu lengua es como navaja afilada,
que sólo engaña y trama hacer mal.
³Prefieres hacer lo malo y no lo bueno,
y mentir, más que decir la verdad.
⁴Tu lengua es engañosa;
prefieres proferir toda clase de insultos.
⁵Por eso, Dios te destruirá para siempre;
te arrancará del lugar donde ahora vives;
¡te desarraigará de la tierra de los vivientes!

⁶Los hombres justos verán esto, y temerán;
se burlarán de él, y dirán:
⁷«¡Miren al que no hizo de Dios su fortaleza!
¡Miren al que confió en sus muchas riquezas
y se mantuvo firme en su maldad!»

⁸¡Pero mírenme a mí!
¡Soy como un verde olivo en la casa de Dios,
y en su misericordia confío ahora y siempre!

⁹Yo te alabaré siempre delante de tus fieles,
porque has actuado en mi favor.
Por siempre confiaré en tu nombre,
porque es bueno confiar en ti.

Psalm 52

New International Version

Psalm 52^[a]

For the director of music. A maskil^[b] of David. When Doeg the Edomite^(A) had gone to Saul and told him: “David has gone to the house of Ahimelek.”

¹Why do you boast of evil, you mighty hero?
    Why do you boast^(B) all day long,^(C)
    you who are a disgrace in the eyes of God?
²You who practice deceit,^(D)
    your tongue plots destruction;^(E)
    it is like a sharpened razor.^(F)
³You love evil^(G) rather than good,
    falsehood^(H) rather than speaking the truth.^[c]
⁴You love every harmful word,
    you deceitful tongue!^(I)

⁵Surely God will bring you down to everlasting ruin:
    He will snatch you up and pluck^(J) you from your tent;
    he will uproot^(K) you from the land of the living.^(L)
⁶The righteous will see and fear;
    they will laugh^(M) at you, saying,
⁷“Here now is the man
    who did not make God his stronghold^(N)
but trusted in his great wealth^(O)
    and grew strong by destroying others!”

⁸But I am like an olive tree^(P)
    flourishing in the house of God;
I trust^(Q) in God’s unfailing love
    for ever and ever.
⁹For what you have done I will always praise you^(R)
    in the presence of your faithful people.^(S)
And I will hope in your name,^(T)
    for your name is good.^(U)

But trusted in the abundance of his riches,
And strengthened himself in his ^[b]wickedness.”

⁸But I am ^(C)like a green olive tree in the house of God;
I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever.

Because You have done it;
And in the presence of Your saints
I will wait on Your name, for it ^[c]is good.
