Salmos 52
Bible in Basic English
1Why do you take pride in wrongdoing, lifting yourself up against the upright man all the day?
2Purposing destruction, using deceit; your tongue is like a sharp blade.
3You have more love for evil than for good, for deceit than for works of righteousness. (Selah.)
4Destruction is in all your words, O false tongue.
5But God will put an end to you for ever; driving you out from your tent, uprooting you from the land of the living. (Selah.)
6The upright will see it with fear, and will say, laughing at you:
7See, this is the man who did not make God his strength, but had faith in his goods and his property, and made himself strong in his wealth.
8But I am like a branching olive-tree in the house of God; I have put my faith in his mercy for ever and ever.
9I will give you praise without end for what you have done; I will give honour to your name before your saints, for it is good.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Al Músico principal: Masquil de David, cuando vino Doeg Idumeo y dió cuenta á Saúl, diciéndole: David ha venido á casa de Ahimelech. ¿POR qué te glorías de maldad, oh poderoso? La misericordia de Dios es continua.
2Agravios maquina tu lengua: como navaja amolada hace engaño.
3Amaste el mal más que el bien; la mentira más que hablar justicia. (Selah.)
4Has amado toda suerte de palabras perniciosas, engañosa lengua.
5Por tanto Dios te derribará para siempre: te asolará y te arrancará de tu morada, y te desarraigará de la tierra de los vivientes. (Selah.)
6Y verán los justos, y temerán; y reiránse de él, diciendo:
7He aquí el hombre que no puso á Dios por su fortaleza, sino que confió en la multitud de sus riquezas, y se mantuvo en su maldad.
8Mas yo estoy como oliva verde en la casa de Dios: en la misericordia de Dios confío perpetua y eternalmente.
9Te alabaré para siempre por lo que has hecho: y esperaré en tu nombre, porque es bueno, delante de tus santos.
King James Version
1Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth continually.
2Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
3Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.
4Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.
5God 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.
6The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:
7Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.
8But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.
9I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name; for it is good before thy saints.

1Why do you boast of mischief, mighty man? God’s loving kindness endures continually.
2Your tongue plots destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
3You love evil more than good, lying rather than speaking the truth. Selah.

6The righteous also will see it, and fear, and laugh at him, saying,
7“Behold, this is the man who didn’t make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.”
8But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in God’s house. I trust in God’s loving kindness forever and ever.
