Psalms 52
Below each verse in the original comes an approximate reading, in italics, for anyone who wants to pronounce the text aloud. It is not academic transliteration: it does not mark stress or settle the cases that depend on grammatical analysis, and the four-letter Name is read “Yahweh”, by the founder’s decision — the Hebrew pointing instructs saying “Adonai”, and Portuguese Bibles render it “SENHOR”.
The numbering differs in this chapter. The original has a different number of verses from the Portuguese — this happens in 134 of the 1,189 chapters, mostly in the Psalms, because the Hebrew superscription (“A psalm of David”) is counted as verse 1. That is why the two texts appear separately, each with its own numbering, instead of paired: pairing here would put a verse next to the wrong one.
1Instrução de Davi, para o regente, quando Doegue, o edomita, veio, e contou a Saul, dizendo: Davi veio à casa de Aimeleque: Por que tu, homem poderoso, te orgulhas no mal? A bondade de Deus continua o dia todo.
2Tua língua planeja maldades; [é] como navalha afiada, que gera falsidades.
3Tu amas mais o mal que o bem, [e] a mentira mais do que falar justiça. (Selá)
4Tu amas todas as palavras de destruição, ó língua enganadora.
5Porém Deus te derrubará para sempre; ele te tomará, e te arrancará para fora da tenda; e te eliminará de toda a terra dos viventes. (Selá)
6E os justos [o] verão, e temerão; e rirão dele, [dizendo] :
7Eis aqui o homem que não pôs sua força em Deus, mas [preferiu] confiar a abundância de suas riquezas, e fortaleceu em sua maldade.
8Mas eu [serei] como a oliveira verde na casa de Deus; confio na bondade de Deus para todo o sempre.
9Eu te louvarei para sempre, por causa do que fizeste; e terei esperança em teu nome, porque tu és bom perante teus santos.
