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.

達味訓誨歌，交與樂官。 作於厄東人多厄格前去報告撒烏耳，說達味到了阿希默肋客家後。 你這以作惡端為能事的人！你為什麼竟以罪為榮為幸？

2 Your tongue plots destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

你這欺詐的人，你時時懷念邪惡，你的舌頭正如一把銳利的剃刀。

3 You love evil more than good, lying rather than speaking the truth. (Selah)

你愛作惡超過行善，你愛說謊超過真言。

4 You love all devouring words, you deceitful tongue.

你這欺詐虛偽的舌頭，凡人的話你都羨慕。

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)

為此，天主必要消滅你，把你永遠廢去，要帳幕中拔去你，由人間將你根除。

6 The righteous also will see it, and fear, and laugh at him, saying,

義人見了必然害怕，要對他冷嘲熱笑說：

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."

請看，這便是那不以天主作自己保障的人，他只依恃自己的財富，以邪惡而誇勝。

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.

我卻好像天主殿中的茂盛橄欖樹，全心信賴天主的慈愛，一直到永久。

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.

上主行了此事，我要永遠稱頌你，我要在你聖徒的面前，讚揚你美善的聖名。
