Hukumu Ya Mungu
Kwa mwimbishaji. Utenzi wa Daudi. Baada ya Doegi, Mwedomu kumwendea Sauli na kumjulisha kuwa: “Daudi amekwenda nyumbani kwa Ahimeleki.”
152:1 Za 10:3; 44:8; 94:4; 1Sam 21:7Ewe jitu, mbona unajivunia ubaya?
Kwa nini unajivuna mchana kutwa,
wewe ambaye ni fedheha mbele za Mungu?
252:2 Za 5:9; 59:7; Hes 6:5; Mit 12:18Ulimi wako hupanga mashauri mabaya ya maangamizi.
Ni kama wembe mkali, ninyi mfanyao hila.
352:3 Kut 10:10; Za 58:3; 1Sam 12:25; Amo 5:14, 15; Yn 3:20; Ufu 21:8; Yer 9:4, 5Unapenda mabaya kuliko mema,
uongo kuliko kusema kweli.
452:4 Za 5:9; 10:7; 109:2; 120:2, 3; Mit 10:31; 12:19Unapenda kila neno lenye kudhuru,
ewe ulimi wenye hila!
552:5 Kum 28:63; 29:28; Ay 28:13; 40:12; Isa 22:19; Mit 2:22; Eze 17:24Hakika Mungu atakushusha chini
kwa maangamizi ya milele:
atakunyakua na kukuondoa kwa nguvu
kutoka hema yako,
atakungʼoa kutoka nchi ya walio hai.
652:6 Ay 22:19; Za 58:10Wenye haki wataona na kuogopa,
watamcheka, wakisema,
752:7 2Sam 22:3; Za 49:6; Mk 10:23; Mit 11:28; Ay 31:24, 25“Huyu ni yule mtu ambaye
hakumfanya Mungu kuwa ngome yake,
bali alitumainia wingi wa utajiri wake,
na akawa hodari kwa kuwaangamiza wengine!”
Neema Ya Mungu
852:8 Ufu 11:4; Za 1:3; 6:4; 13:5; 54:6Lakini mimi ni kama mti wa mzeituni
unaostawi katika nyumba ya Mungu,
nautegemea upendo wa Mungu usiokoma
milele na milele.
952:9 Ay 7:6; Za 16:3; 30:12; 25:3; 54:6; Kum 7:6Nitakusifu milele kwa yale uliyoyatenda,
nitatumaini jina lako, kwa kuwa jina lako ni jema.
Nitakusifu mbele ya watakatifu wako.
Psalm 52In Hebrew texts 52:1-9 is numbered 52:3-11.
For the director of music. A maskilTitle: Probably a literary or musical term of David. When Doeg the Edomite 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 all day long,
you who are a disgrace in the eyes of God?
2You who practice deceit,
your tongue plots destruction;
it is like a sharpened razor.
3You love evil rather than good,
falsehood rather than speaking the truth.52:3 The Hebrew has Selah (a word of uncertain meaning) here and at the end of verse 5.
4You love every harmful word,
you deceitful tongue!
5Surely God will bring you down to everlasting ruin:
He will snatch you up and pluck you from your tent;
he will uproot you from the land of the living.
6The righteous will see and fear;
they will laugh at you, saying,
7“Here now is the man
who did not make God his stronghold
but trusted in his great wealth
and grew strong by destroying others!”
8But I am like an olive tree
flourishing in the house of God;
I trust in God’s unfailing love
for ever and ever.
9For what you have done I will always praise you
in the presence of your faithful people.
And I will hope in your name,
for your name is good.
