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. A maskil of David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul that David had gone to Abimelech’s house. Why glory in mischief, you hero? God’s kindness is 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。

Engulfing ruin you plot, your tongue like a razor sharpened, you practiser of deceit.

3 你愛作惡超過行善，你愛說謊超過真言。

Evil, not good, you love, and falsehood, not words of truth. (Selah)

4 你這欺詐虛偽的舌頭，凡人的話你都羨慕。

But you love all words that devour, and a tongue that is given to deceit.

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, on his part, shall destroy you forever, grasp you and pluck you out of your tent, and root 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：

Smitten with awe at the sight, the righteous shall laugh at you.

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。

‘Look’ (they will say) ‘at the hero who did not make God his stronghold, but trusted in his great wealth and in the strength of his riches.’

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 like a fresh olive-tree in the house of God. I trust in the kindness of God for ever and 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 render you thanks for ever for what you have done. I will tell how good you are in the presence of those who love you.
