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 Chief Musician. A contemplation by David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, “David has come to Ahimelech’s house.” Why do you boast of mischief, mighty man? God’s loving kindness endures 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。

Your tongue plots destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

3 你愛作惡超過行善，你愛說謊超過真言。

You love evil more than good, lying rather 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 all devouring words, you 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 destroy you forever. He will take you up, 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：

The righteous also will see it, and fear, and laugh at him, 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。

“Behold, this is the man who didn’t make God his strength, 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 green olive tree in God’s house. I trust in God’s loving kindness 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 give you thanks forever, because you have done it. I will hope in your name, for it is good, in the presence of your saints.
