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 music director. A psalm (maskil) of David, concerning the time when Doeg the Edomite went to Saul and told him, “David has gone to the home of Ahimelech.” You great man, why do you boast about the evil things you've done? God's trustworthy love lasts all day long.

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。

You plot to make people suffer; your words cut like a sharp razor, you liar!

3 你愛作惡超過行善，你愛說謊超過真言。

You love evil more than good, and telling lies more than speaking the truth. (Selah)

4 你這欺詐虛偽的舌頭，凡人的話你都羨慕。

You love slanderous words that destroy others, you liar!

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。

But God will strike you down so hard you'll never get up. He will grab hold of you and drag you from your tent. He will tear you out of the land of the living. (Selah)

6 義人見了必然害怕，要對他冷嘲熱笑說：

Those who do right will see all this. They will be astonished and laugh, saying,

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。

“See what happens to those who don't go to God for help but instead rely on their great wealth and strength—which only brings their destruction!”

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'm like an olive tree growing strongly in God's house. I trust in God's unfailing love forever and ever.

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 praise you forever, God, for all you have done. In the presence of your trustworthy people, I will place my hope in the kind of person you are, for you are good.
