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

To the Overseer. — An instruction, by David, in the coming in of Doeg the Edomite, and he declareth to Saul, and saith to him, 'David came in unto the house of Ahimelech.' What, boasteth thou in evil, O mighty one? The kindness of God [is] all the day.

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

Mischiefs doth thy tongue devise, Like a sharp razor, working deceit.

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 hast loved evil rather than good, Lying, 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 hast loved all devouring words, O thou 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)

Also — God doth break thee down for ever, Taketh thee, and pulleth thee out of the tent, And He hath uprooted 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

And the righteous see, And fear, and 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, the man who maketh not God his strong place, And trusteth in the abundance of his riches, He is strong in his mischiefs.'

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

And I, as a green olive in the house of God, I have trusted in the kindness of God, To the age and for 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 thank Thee to the age, because Thou hast done [it], And I wait [on] Thy name for [it is] good before Thy saints!
