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!
(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.
