Psalms 52

1 You people [think that you] are strong and brag about the sins that you have committed, while you plan to harm godly people.

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 All during the day you plan to get rid of [others]; what you say [MTY] [injures others] like a sharp razor [SIM], and you are [always] deceiving [others].

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 like [doing what is] evil more than you like doing what is good, and you like telling lies more than you like telling the truth.

你愛作惡超過行善，你愛說謊超過真言。

4 You who say things [MTY] to deceive people, you like to say (things that hurt people/cruel things)!

你這欺詐虛偽的舌頭，凡人的話你都羨慕。

5 But God will get rid of you forever; he will grab you and drag you from your home and take you away from this world where people are alive.

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 When righteous [people] see that, they will be awestruck, and they will laugh at [what happened to] you, and say,

義人見了必然害怕，要對他冷嘲熱笑說：

7 “Look [what happened to] the man who would not ask God to protect him; he trusted that his great wealth [would save him]; he trusted in the money that he got by wickedly taking it from others!”

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 I am [secure/safe because I worship] in God’s temple; I am like a [strong] green olive tree. I trust in God, who faithfully loves us forever.

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 God, I will always thank you for the things that you have done. As I stand before godly [people], I will proclaim that you are good (OR, the many good [MTY] [things you have done for us]).

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。
