(A special psalm by David for the music leader. He wrote this when Doeg from Edom went to Saul and said, “David has gone to Ahimelech's house.”)
God Is in Control
1 You people may be strong
and brag about your sins,
but God can be trusted
day after day.
2 You plan brutal crimes,
and your lying words cut
like a sharp razor.
3 You would rather do evil
than good, and tell lies
than speak the truth.
4 You love to say cruel things,
and your words are a trap.
5 God will destroy you forever!
He will grab you and drag you
from your homes.
You will be uprooted
and left to die.
6 When good people see
this fearsome sight,
they will laugh and say,
7 “Just look at them now!
Instead of trusting God,
they trusted their wealth
and their cruelty.”
8 But I am like an olive tree
growing in God's house,
and I can count on his love
forever and ever.
9 I will always thank God
for what he has done;
I will praise his good name
when his people meet.
Ļauna cilvēka liktenis
1 Korvedim. Dāvida psalms , 2 kad edomietis Doēgs nāca pie Saula un stāstīja: Dāvids bija atnācis Ahīmeleha namā! –
3 Ko lielies ar ļaunu tu, varenais?
Dieva žēlastība ilgst augu dienu!
4 Postu tu kal, tava mēle kā uztrīts skuveklis, viltniek!
5 Tu mīli ļaunu vairāk par labu, melus par patiesību!
6 Tu mīli tādas runas, kas aprij, un valodas, kas viļ!
7 Bet Dievs tevi satrieks uz mūžiem,
grābs tevi, izraus no telts,
izplēsīs ar saknēm no dzīvo zemes!
8 Raudzīsies taisnie un bīsies, par viņu tie smies:
9 redzi, vīrs, kas netvērās pie Dieva,
bet paļāvās, ka gana bagāts, dūšojās, kaldams postu! –
10 Bet es kā zaļojošs olīvkoks Dieva namā –
paļaujos uz Dieva žēlastību mūžīgi mūžam!
11 Mūžam slavēšu tevi, jo tu to darīji,
un piesaukšu tavu vārdu tavu svētīto priekšā,
jo tas ir labs!
