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 victorie, the salm of Dauid, `whanne Doech Idumei cam, and telde to Saul, and seide to him, Dauid cam in to the hows of Abymelech. What hast thou glorie in malice; which art miyti in wickidnesse?

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。

Al dai thi tunge thouyte vnriytfulnesse; as a scharp rasour thou hast do gile.

3 你愛作惡超過行善，你愛說謊超過真言。

Thou louedist malice more than benygnite; `thou louedist wickidnesse more than to speke equite.

4 你這欺詐虛偽的舌頭，凡人的話你都羨慕。

Thou louedist alle wordis of casting doun; with a gileful tunge.

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。

Therfor God schal distrie thee in to the ende, he schal drawe thee out bi the roote, and he schal make thee to passe awei fro thi tabernacle; and thi roote fro the lond of lyuynge men.

6 義人見了必然害怕，要對他冷嘲熱笑說：

Iust men schulen se, and schulen drede; and thei schulen leiye on hym, and thei schulen seie, Lo!

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。

the man that settide not God his helpere. But he hopide in the multitude of his richessis; and hadde maistrie in his vanite.

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。

Forsothe Y, as a fruytful olyue tre in the hous of God; hopide in the merci of God with outen ende, and in to the world of world.

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。

Y schal knowleche to thee in to the world, for thou hast do mercy to me; and Y schal abide thi name, for it is good in the siyt of thi seyntis.
