< Psalms 52 >

1 Why boast you yourself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endures continually.
لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ. مَزْمُورٌ تَعْلِيمِيٌّ لِدَاوُدَ عِنْدَمَا أَخْبَرَ دُوَاغُ شَاوُلَ بِذَهَابِ دَاوُدَ إِلَى بَيْتِ أَخِيمَالِكَ. لِمَاذَا تَتَفَاخَرُ بِالشَّرِّ أَيُّهَا الْجَبَّارُ؟ إِنَّ رَحْمَةَ اللهِ تَدُومُ الْيَوْمَ كُلَّهُ١
2 The tongue devises mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
لِسَانُكَ يَخْتَرِعُ الْمَسَاوِئَ، وَيُمَارِسُ الْغِشَّ وَيَجْرَحُ كَالْمُوسَى الْمَسْنُونَةِ.٢
3 You love evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. (Selah)
أَحْبَبْتَ الشَّرَّ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ، وَالْكَذِبَ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ الصِّدْقِ.٣
4 You love all devouring words, O you deceitful tongue.
أَحْبَبْتَ كُلَّ كَلامٍ مُهْلِكٍ أَيُّهَا اللِّسَانُ الْمُنَافِقُ.٤
5 God shall likewise destroy you for ever, he shall take you away, and pluck you out of your dwelling place, and root you out of the land of the living. (Selah)
حَقّاً سَيُدَمِّرُكَ اللهُ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَيَخْتَطِفُكَ وَيَقْتَلِعُكَ مِنْ خَيْمَتِكَ، وَيَسْتَأْصِلُكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ الأَحْيَاءِ.٥
6 The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:
فَيَرَى الأَبْرَارُ ذَلِكَ وَيَخَافُونَ؛ يَضْحَكُونَ عَلَيْكَ قَائِلِينَ:٦
7 See, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.
هَذَا هُوَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي لَمْ يَتَّخِذِ اللهَ حِصْناً لَهُ، بَلِ اتَّكَلَ عَلَى وَفْرَةِ غِنَاهُ وَاعْتَزَّ بِغِوَايَتِهِ.٧
8 But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.
أَمَّا أَنَا فَمِثْلُ زَيْتُونَةٍ خَضْرَاءَ فِي بَيْتِ اللهِ وَثِقْتُ بِرَحْمَةِ اللهِ إِلَى الدَّهْرِ وَالأَبَدِ.٨
9 I will praise you for ever, because you have done it: and I will wait on your name; for it is good before your saints.
أَحْمَدُكَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ عَلَى مَا فَعَلْتَ، وَأَنْتَظِرُ اسْمَكَ الصَّالِحَ فِي مَحْضَرِ أَتْقِيَائِكَ.٩
