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 Leader. Maschil of David; when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him: 'David is come to the house of Ahimelech.' Why boastest thou thyself of evil, O mighty man? The mercy of God endureth continually.

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。

Thy tongue deviseth destruction; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

3 你愛作惡超過行善，你愛說謊超過真言。

Thou lovest evil more than good; falsehood rather than speaking righteousness. (Selah)

4 你這欺詐虛偽的舌頭，凡人的話你都羨慕。

Thou lovest all devouring words, the 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。

God will likewise break thee for ever, He will take thee up, and pluck thee out of thy tent, and root thee 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：

The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:

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。

'Lo, this is the man that made not God his stronghold; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.'

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 as for me, I am like a leafy olive-tree in the house of God; I trust in the mercy of God for ever 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 give Thee thanks for ever, because Thou hast done it; and I will wait for Thy name, for it is good, in the presence of Thy saints.
