Psalms 52

1 To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of Instruction, of David. When Doeg the Edomite went, and told Saul; and said to him, —David, hath entered the house of Ahimelech. Why dost thou boast thyself of wickedness, O mighty man? The lovingkindness of GOD, [lasteth] all the day.

以东人多益来告诉扫罗说：“大卫到了亚希米勒家。”那时，大卫作这训诲诗，交与伶长。 勇士啊，你为何以作恶自夸？ 神的慈爱是常存的。

2 Engulfing ruin, doth thy tongue devise, Like a whetted razor, working deceit;

你的舌头邪恶诡诈， 好像剃头刀，快利伤人。

3 Thou lovest Evil more than good, Falsehood, more than speaking righteousness. (Selah)

你爱恶胜似爱善， 又爱说谎，不爱说公义。 (细拉)

4 Thou lovest all devouring words, O deceitful tongue!

诡诈的舌头啊， 你爱说一切毁灭的话！

5 GOD also, will break thee down utterly, He will snatch thee up and tear thee away tentless, And uproot thee, out of the land of the living. (Selah)

神也要毁灭你，直到永远； 他要把你拿去，从你的帐棚中抽出， 从活人之地将你拔出。 (细拉)

6 The righteous shall both see and fear, And, over him, shall laugh:

义人要看见而惧怕， 并要笑他，

7 Lo! the man who made not God his refuge, —But trusted in the abundance of his riches, Emboldened himself in his wealth!

说：看哪，这就是那不以 神为他力量的人， 只倚仗他丰富的财物，在邪恶上坚立自己。

8 But, I, am like a flourishing olive-tree, in the house of God, I have put confidence in the lovingkindness of God, for times age-abiding and beyond.

至于我，就像 神殿中的青橄榄树； 我永永远远倚靠 神的慈爱。

9 I will praise thee to times age-abiding, Because thou didst effectually work, —And I will wait on thy Name, Because it is good, In the presence of thy men of lovingkindness.

我要称谢你，直到永远， 因为你行了这事。 我也要在你圣民面前仰望你的名； 这名本为美好。
