Psalms 52

1 To the chief music-maker. Maschil. Of David. When Doeg the Edomite came to Saul saying, David has come to the house of Ahimelech. Why do you take pride in wrongdoing, lifting yourself up against the upright man all the day?

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？

2 Purposing destruction, using deceit; your tongue is like a sharp blade.

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。

3 You have more love for evil than for good, for deceit than for works of righteousness. (Selah)

你愛作惡超過行善，你愛說謊超過真言。

4 Destruction is in all your words, O false tongue.

你這欺詐虛偽的舌頭，凡人的話你都羨慕。

5 But God will put an end to you for ever; driving you out from your tent, uprooting you from the land of the living. (Selah)

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。

6 The upright will see it with fear, and will say, laughing at you:

義人見了必然害怕，要對他冷嘲熱笑說：

7 See, this is the man who did not make God his strength, but had faith in his goods and his property, and made himself strong in his wealth.

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。

8 But I am like a branching olive-tree in the house of God; I have put my faith in his mercy for ever and ever.

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。

9 I will give you praise without end for what you have done; I will give honour to your name before your saints, for it is good.

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。
