Psalms 52

1 For the Chief Musician. A contemplation by David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, “David has come to Ahimelech’s house.” Why do you boast of mischief, mighty man? God’s loving kindness endures continually.

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

2 Your tongue plots destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

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

3 You love evil more than good, lying rather than speaking the truth. (Selah)

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)

4 You love all devouring words, you deceitful tongue.

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

5 God will likewise destroy you forever. He will take you up, and pluck you out of your tent, and root you out of the land of the living. (Selah)

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)

6 The righteous also will see it, and fear, and laugh at him, saying,

義者はこれを見ておそれ彼をわらひていはん

7 “Behold, this is the man who didn’t make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.”

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

8 But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in God’s house. I trust in God’s loving kindness forever and ever.

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

9 I will give you thanks forever, because you have done it. I will hope in your name, for it is good, in the presence of your holy ones.

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
