< Psalms 52 >

1 [For the Chief Musician. A contemplation by David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, "David has come to Abimelech's house."] Why do you boast of mischief, mighty man? God's loving kindness 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 Your tongue plots destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
لِسَانُكَ يَخْتَرِعُ الْمَسَاوِئَ، وَيُمَارِسُ الْغِشَّ وَيَجْرَحُ كَالْمُوسَى الْمَسْنُونَةِ.٢
3 You love evil more than good, lying rather than speaking the truth. (Selah)
أَحْبَبْتَ الشَّرَّ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ، وَالْكَذِبَ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ الصِّدْقِ.٣
4 You love all devouring words, you deceitful tongue.
أَحْبَبْتَ كُلَّ كَلامٍ مُهْلِكٍ أَيُّهَا اللِّسَانُ الْمُنَافِقُ.٤
5 God will likewise destroy you forever. He will take you up, and pluck you out of your tent, 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 will see it, and fear, and laugh at him, saying,
فَيَرَى الأَبْرَارُ ذَلِكَ وَيَخَافُونَ؛ يَضْحَكُونَ عَلَيْكَ قَائِلِينَ:٦
7 "Look, this is the man who did not make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and was confident in his desire."
هَذَا هُوَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي لَمْ يَتَّخِذِ اللهَ حِصْناً لَهُ، بَلِ اتَّكَلَ عَلَى وَفْرَةِ غِنَاهُ وَاعْتَزَّ بِغِوَايَتِهِ.٧
8 But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in God's house. I trust in God's loving kindness forever and ever.
أَمَّا أَنَا فَمِثْلُ زَيْتُونَةٍ خَضْرَاءَ فِي بَيْتِ اللهِ وَثِقْتُ بِرَحْمَةِ اللهِ إِلَى الدَّهْرِ وَالأَبَدِ.٨
9 I will give you thanks forever, because you have done it. I will hope in your name, for it is good, in the presence of your faithful ones.
أَحْمَدُكَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ عَلَى مَا فَعَلْتَ، وَأَنْتَظِرُ اسْمَكَ الصَّالِحَ فِي مَحْضَرِ أَتْقِيَائِكَ.٩
