詩篇 52

1 猛者よなんぢ何なればあしき企圖をもて自らほこるや神のあはれみは恒にたえざるなり

For the Leader. Maschil of David; when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him: 'David is come to the house of Ahimelech.' Why boastest thou thyself of evil, O mighty man? The mercy of God endureth continually.

2 なんぢの舌はあしきことをはかり利き剃刀のごとくいつはりをおこなふ

Thy tongue deviseth destruction; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

3 なんぢは善よりも惡をこのみ正義をいふよりも虚偽をいふをこのむ (セラ)

Thou lovest evil more than good; falsehood rather than speaking righteousness. (Selah)

4 たばかりの舌よなんぢはすべての物をくひほろぼす言をこのむ

Thou lovest all devouring words, the deceitful tongue.

5 されば神とこしへまでも汝をくだき また汝をとらへてその幕屋よりぬきいだし生るものの地よりなんぢの根をたやしたまはん (セラ)

God will likewise break thee for ever, He will take thee up, and pluck thee out of thy tent, and root thee out of the land of the living. (Selah)

6 義者はこれを見ておそれ彼をわらひていはん

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

7 神をおのが力となさず その富のゆたかなるをたのみ その惡をもて己をかたくせんとする人をみよと

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

8 然はあれどわれは神の家にあるあをき橄欖の樹のごとし 我はいやとほながに神のあはれみに依賴まん

But as for me, I am like a leafy olive-tree in the house of God; I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.

9 なんぢこの事をおこなひ給ひしによりて我とこしへになんぢに感謝し なんぢの聖徒のまへにて聖名をまちのぞまん こは宜しきことなればなり

I will give Thee thanks for ever, because Thou hast done it; and I will wait for Thy name, for it is good, in the presence of Thy saints.
