Psalms 52

1 For the choirmaster. A Maskil of David. After Doeg the Edomite went to Saul and told him, “David has gone to the house of Ahimelech.” Why do you boast of evil, O mighty man? The loving devotion of God endures all day long.

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。

2 Your tongue devises destruction like a sharpened razor, O worker of deceit.

你的舌頭邪惡詭詐， 好像剃頭刀，快利傷人。

3 You love evil more than good, falsehood more than speaking truth.

你愛惡勝似愛善， 又愛說謊，不愛說公義。 (細拉)

4 You love every word that devours, O deceitful tongue.

詭詐的舌頭啊， 你愛說一切毀滅的話！

5 Surely God will bring you down to everlasting ruin; He will snatch you up and tear you away from your tent; He will uproot you from the land of the living.

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)

6 The righteous will see and fear; they will mock the evildoer, saying,

義人要看見而懼怕， 並要笑他，

7 “Look at the man who did not make God his refuge, but trusted in the abundance of his wealth and strengthened himself by destruction.”

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。

8 But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in the loving devotion of God forever and ever.

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。

9 I will praise You forever, because You have done it. I will wait on Your name— for it is good— in the presence of Your saints.

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。
