詩篇 52

1 達味訓誨歌，交與樂官。 作於厄東人多厄格前去報告撒烏耳，說達味到了阿希默肋客家後。 你這以作惡端為能事的人！你為什麼竟以罪為榮為幸？

For the end, [a Psalm] of instruction by David, when Doec the Idumean came and told Saul, and said to him, David is gone to the house of Abimelech. Why do you, O mighty man, boast of iniquity in [your] mischief? All the day

2 你這欺詐的人，你時時懷念邪惡，你的舌頭正如一把銳利的剃刀。

your tongue has devised unrighteousness; like a sharpened razor you have wrought deceit.

3 你愛作惡超過行善，你愛說謊超過真言。

You have loved wickedness more than goodness; unrighteousness better than to speak righteousness. (Pause)

4 你這欺詐虛偽的舌頭，凡人的話你都羨慕。

You has loved all words of destruction, [and] a deceitful tongue.

5 為此，天主必要消滅你，把你永遠廢去，要帳幕中拔去你，由人間將你根除。

Therefore may God destroy you for ever, may he pluck you up and utterly remove you from [your] dwelling, and your root from the land of the living. (Pause)

6 義人見了必然害怕，要對他冷嘲熱笑說：

And the righteous shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him, and say,

7 請看，這便是那不以天主作自己保障的人，他只依恃自己的財富，以邪惡而誇勝。

Behold the man who made not God his help; but trusted in the abundance of his wealth, and strengthened himself in his vanity.

8 我卻好像天主殿中的茂盛橄欖樹，全心信賴天主的慈愛，一直到永久。

But I am as a fruitful olive in the house of God: I have trusted in the mercy of God for ever, even for evermore.

9 上主行了此事，我要永遠稱頌你，我要在你聖徒的面前，讚揚你美善的聖名。

I will give thanks to you for ever, for you have done [it]: and I will wait on your name; for [it is] good before the saints.
