Psalms 52

1 Why boast you yourself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endures continually.

١ لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. قَصِيدَةٌ لِدَاوُدَ عِنْدَمَا جَاءَ دُوَاغُ اَلْأَدُومِيُّ وَأَخْبَرَ شَاوُلَ وَقَالَ لَهُ: «جَاءَ دَاوُدُ إِلَى بَيْتِ أَخِيمَالِكَ». لِمَاذَا تَفْتَخِرُ بِٱلشَّرِّ أَيُّهَا ٱلْجَبَّارُ؟ رَحْمَةُ ٱللهِ هِيَ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ!

2 The tongue devises evil; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

٢ لِسَانُكَ يَخْتَرِعُ مَفَاسِدَ. كَمُوسَى مَسْنُونَةٍ يَعْمَلُ بِٱلْغِشِّ.

3 You love evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. (Selah)

٣ أَحْبَبْتَ ٱلشَّرَّ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ ٱلْخَيْرِ، ٱلْكَذِبَ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ ٱلتَّكَلُّمِ بِٱلصِّدْقِ. سِلَاهْ.

4 You love all devouring words, O you deceitful tongue.

٤ أَحْبَبْتَ كُلَّ كَلَامٍ مُهْلِكٍ، وَلِسَانِ غِشٍّ.

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)

٥ أَيْضًا يَهْدِمُكَ ٱللهُ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ. يَخْطَفُكَ وَيَقْلَعُكَ مِنْ مَسْكَنِكَ، وَيَسْتَأْصِلُكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ ٱلْأَحْيَاءِ. سِلَاهْ.

6 The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:

٦ فَيَرَى ٱلصِّدِّيقُونَ وَيَخَافُونَ، وَعَلَيْهِ يَضْحَكُونَ:

7 Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.

٧ «هُوَذَا ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ يَجْعَلِ ٱللهَ حِصْنَهُ، بَلِ ٱتَّكَلَ عَلَى كَثْرَةِ غِنَاهُ وَٱعْتَزَّ بِفَسَادِهِ».

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.

٨ أَمَّا أَنَا فَمِثْلُ زَيْتُونَةٍ خَضْرَاءَ فِي بَيْتِ ٱللهِ. تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى رَحْمَةِ ٱللهِ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ وَٱلْأَبَدِ.

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.

٩ أَحْمَدُكَ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ لِأَنَّكَ فَعَلْتَ، وَأَنْتَظِرُ ٱسْمَكَ فَإِنَّهُ صَالِحٌ قُدَّامَ أَتْقِيَائِكَ.
