Psalm 52
King James Version
52 Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth continually.
2 The tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
3 Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.
4 Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.
5 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.
6 The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:
7 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.
8 But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.
9 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.
Psalm 52
New King James Version
The End of the Wicked and the Peace of the Godly
To the Chief Musician. A [a]Contemplation of David (A)when Doeg the Edomite went and (B)told Saul, and said to him, “David has gone to the house of Ahimelech.”
52 Why do you boast in evil, O mighty man?
The goodness of God endures continually.
2 Your tongue devises destruction,
Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
3 You love evil more than good,
Lying rather than speaking righteousness. Selah
4 You love all devouring words,
You deceitful tongue.
5 God shall likewise destroy you forever;
He shall take you away, and pluck you out of your dwelling place,
And uproot you from the land of the living. Selah
6 The righteous also shall see and fear,
And shall laugh at him, saying,
7 “Here is the man who did not make God his strength,
But trusted in the abundance of his riches,
And strengthened himself in his [b]wickedness.”
8 But I am (C)like a green olive tree in the house of God;
I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever.
9 I will praise You forever,
Because You have done it;
And in the presence of Your saints
I will wait on Your name, for it [c]is good.

Zabbuli 52
Endagaano Enkadde nʼEndagaano Empya
Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Zabbuli ya Dawudi Dowegi Omwedomu bwe yagenda n’abuulira Sawulo nti, “Dawudi alaze mu nnyumba ya Akimereki.”
52 (A)Lwaki weenyumiririza mu kibi ggwe omusajja ow’amaanyi?
Endagaano ya Katonda ey’obwesigwa ebeerera emirembe n’emirembe.
2 (B)Oteekateeka enkwe ez’okuzikiriza.
Olulimi lwo lwogi nga kkirita
era buli kiseera lwogera bya bulimba.
3 (C)Oyagala okukola ebibi okusinga okukola ebirungi,
n’okulimba okusinga okwogera amazima.
4 (D)Osanyukira nnyo okwogera ebirumya.
Ggwe olulimi kalimbira!
5 (E)Kyokka Katonda alikuzikiriza emirembe gyonna;
alikusikula, akuggye mu maka go;
alikugoba mu nsi y’abalamu.
6 (F)Bino abatuukirivu balibiraba, ne babitunuulira nga batidde.
Naye balikusekerera, nga bwe bagamba nti,
7 (G)“Mumulabe omusajja
ateesiga Katonda okuba ekiddukiro kye,
naye ne yeesiganga obugagga bwe obungi,
ne yeeyongera n’amaanyi ng’azikiriza abalala.”
