詩篇 52

1 以東人多益來告訴掃羅說：「大衛到了亞希米勒家。」那時，大衛作這訓誨詩，交與伶長。 勇士啊，你為何以作惡自誇？ 上帝的慈愛是常存的。

For the music director. A psalm (maskil) of David, concerning the time when Doeg the Edomite went to Saul and told him, “David has gone to the home of Ahimelech.” You great man, why do you boast about the evil things you've done? God's trustworthy love lasts all day long.

2 你的舌頭邪惡詭詐， 好像剃頭刀，快利傷人。

You plot to make people suffer; your words cut like a sharp razor, you liar!

3 你愛惡勝似愛善， 又愛說謊，不愛說公義。 (細拉)

You love evil more than good, and telling lies more than speaking the truth. (Selah)

4 詭詐的舌頭啊， 你愛說一切毀滅的話！

You love slanderous words that destroy others, you liar!

5 上帝也要毀滅你，直到永遠； 他要把你拿去，從你的帳棚中抽出， 從活人之地將你拔出。 (細拉)

But God will strike you down so hard you'll never get up. He will grab hold of you and drag you from your tent. He will tear you out of the land of the living. (Selah)

6 義人要看見而懼怕， 並要笑他，

Those who do right will see all this. They will be astonished and laugh, saying,

7 說：看哪，這就是那不以上帝為他力量的人， 只倚仗他豐富的財物，在邪惡上堅立自己。

“See what happens to those who don't go to God for help but instead rely on their great wealth and strength—which only brings their destruction!”

8 至於我，就像上帝殿中的青橄欖樹； 我永永遠遠倚靠上帝的慈愛。

But I'm like an olive tree growing strongly in God's house. I trust in God's unfailing love forever and ever.

9 我要稱謝你，直到永遠， 因為你行了這事。 我也要在你聖民面前仰望你的名； 這名本為美好。

I will praise you forever, God, for all you have done. In the presence of your trustworthy people, I will place my hope in the kind of person you are, for you are good.
