< Psalms 52 >
1 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.
以东人多益来告诉扫罗说:“大卫到了亚希米勒家。”那时,大卫作这训诲诗,交与伶长。 勇士啊,你为何以作恶自夸? 神的慈爱是常存的。
2 You plot to make people suffer; your words cut like a sharp razor, you liar!
你的舌头邪恶诡诈, 好像剃头刀,快利伤人。
3 You love evil more than good, and telling lies more than speaking the truth. (Selah)
你爱恶胜似爱善, 又爱说谎,不爱说公义。 (细拉)
4 You love slanderous words that destroy others, you liar!
诡诈的舌头啊, 你爱说一切毁灭的话!
5 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)
神也要毁灭你,直到永远; 他要把你拿去,从你的帐棚中抽出, 从活人之地将你拔出。 (细拉)
6 Those who do right will see all this. They will be astonished and laugh, saying,
义人要看见而惧怕, 并要笑他,
7 “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!”
说:看哪,这就是那不以 神为他力量的人, 只倚仗他丰富的财物,在邪恶上坚立自己。
8 But I'm like an olive tree growing strongly in God's house. I trust in God's unfailing love forever and ever.
至于我,就像 神殿中的青橄榄树; 我永永远远倚靠 神的慈爱。
9 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.
我要称谢你,直到永远, 因为你行了这事。 我也要在你圣民面前仰望你的名; 这名本为美好。
