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？

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of Instruction, of David. When Doeg the Edomite went, and told Saul; and said to him, —David, hath entered the house of Ahimelech. Why dost thou boast thyself of wickedness, O mighty man? The lovingkindness of GOD, [lasteth] 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, doth thy tongue devise, Like a whetted razor, working deceit;

3 你愛作惡超過行善，你愛說謊超過真言。

Thou lovest Evil more than good, Falsehood, more 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, O 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 also, will break thee down utterly, He will snatch thee up and tear thee away tentless, And uproot 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 shall both see and fear, And, over him, shall laugh:

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! the man who made not God his refuge, —But trusted in the abundance of his riches, Emboldened himself in his wealth!

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 flourishing olive-tree, in the house of God, I have put confidence in the lovingkindness of God, for times age-abiding and beyond.

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 thee to times age-abiding, Because thou didst effectually work, —And I will wait on thy Name, Because it is good, In the presence of thy men of lovingkindness.
