詩篇 52

1 聖歌隊の指揮者によってうたわせたダビデのマスキールの歌。これはエドムびとドエグがサウルにきて、「ダビデはアヒメレクの家にきた」と告げたときにダビデがよんだもの 力ある者よ、何ゆえあなたは神を敬う人に与えた災について誇るのか。あなたはひねもす人を滅ぼすことをたくらむ。

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

2 虚偽を行う者よ、あなたの舌は鋭いかみそりのようだ。

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].

3 あなたは善よりも悪を好み、まことを語るよりも偽りを語ることを好む。 (セラ)

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.

4 欺きの舌よ、あなたはすべての滅ぼす言葉を好む。

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

5 しかし神はとこしえにあなたを砕き、あなたを捕えて、その天幕から引き離し、生ける者の地から、あなたの根を絶やされる。 (セラ)

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.

6 正しい者はこれを見て恐れ、彼を笑って言うであろう、

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

7 「神をおのが避け所とせず、その富の豊かなるを頼み、その宝に寄り頼む人を見よ」と。

“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!”

8 しかし、わたしは神の家にある緑のオリブの木のようだ。わたしは世々かぎりなく神のいつくしみを頼む。

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.

9 あなたがこの事をなされたので、わたしはとこしえに、あなたに感謝し、聖徒の前であなたのみ名をふれ示そう。これはよいことだからである。

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]).
