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 leader of the music. A psalm of David, when Doeg, the Edomite, came and told Saul, and said to him, David is come to the house of Abimelech.” Why gloriest thou in mischief, thou man of violence? The goodness of God yet continueth daily.

2 你的舌頭邪惡詭詐， 好像剃頭刀，快利傷人。

Thy tongue deviseth mischief, Like a sharp razor, thou contriver of deceit!

3 你愛惡勝似愛善， 又愛說謊，不愛說公義。 (細拉)

Thou lovest evil more than good, And to lie more than to speak truth. (Pause)

4 詭詐的舌頭啊， 你愛說一切毀滅的話！

Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue!

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)

Thee also shall God utterly destroy! o He shall seize thee, and tear thee from thy dwelling-place, And uproot thee from the land of the living. (Pause)

6 義人要看見而懼怕， 並要笑他，

The righteous shall see and fear, And shall laugh at him.

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。

“Behold the man that made not God his strength, But trusted in the abundance of his riches, And placed his strength in his wickedness!”

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 shall be like a green olive-tree in the house of God; I will trust in the goodness of God for ever 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 thee for ever for what thou hast done; I will trust in thy name, because it is good, Before the eyes of thy godly ones!
