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.

エドム人ドエグ、サウルにきたりてダビデはアビメレクの家にきぬと告しときダビデがよみて伶長にうたはしめたる教訓のうた 猛者よなんぢ何なればあしき企圖をもて自らほこるや神のあはれみは恒にたえざるなり

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

なんぢの舌はあしきことをはかり利き剃刀のごとくいつはりをおこなふ

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

なんぢは善よりも惡をこのみ正義をいふよりも虚偽をいふをこのむ (セラ)

4 You love slanderous words that destroy others, you liar!

たばかりの舌よなんぢはすべての物をくひほろぼす言をこのむ

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)

されば神とこしへまでも汝をくだき また汝をとらへてその幕屋よりぬきいだし生るものの地よりなんぢの根をたやしたまはん (セラ)

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

義者はこれを見ておそれ彼をわらひていはん

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!”

神をおのが力となさず その富のゆたかなるをたのみ その惡をもて己をかたくせんとする人をみよと

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

然はあれどわれは神の家にあるあをき橄欖の樹のごとし 我はいやとほながに神のあはれみに依頼まん

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.

なんぢこの事をおこなひ給ひしによりて我とこしへになんぢに感謝し なんぢの聖徒のまへにて聖名をまちのぞまん こは宜しきことなれぱなり
