诗篇 52
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
陷害人的必遭 神報應
大衛的訓誨詩,交給詩班長,是在以東人多益來告訴掃羅:“大衛到了亞希米勒家”以後作的。(本篇細字標題在《馬索拉文本》為52:1~2)
52 勇士啊!你為甚麼以作惡自誇呢?
神的慈愛是常存的。
2 你圖謀毀滅,
你的舌頭鋒利像剃刀,
常弄詭詐。
3 你喜愛作惡過於行善,
喜愛撒謊過於說實話。(細拉)
4 你喜愛你詭詐的舌頭,
所說一切毀滅人的話。
5 神必把你永遠拆毀;
他必把你挪去,把你從帳棚中揪出來,
把你從活人之地連根拔起。(細拉)
6 義人必看見而懼怕;
他們必譏笑他,說:
7 “看哪!這就是那不以 神為自己保障的人,
他只倚靠自己豐盛的財富,
以毀滅別人來加強自己的力量。”
8 至於我,我就像神殿中茂盛的橄欖樹一樣;
我倚靠 神的慈愛,直到永永遠遠。
9 我要永遠稱謝你,因為你行了這事;
我必在你聖民的面前,宣揚(“宣揚”原文作“仰望”)你的名,
因你的名是美好的。
Psalm 52
Expanded Bible
God Will Punish the Proud
For the director of music. A ·maskil [skillful psalm; meditation] of David. When Doeg the Edomite came to Saul and ·said [reported] to him, “David ·is in [L has come to/entered] Ahimelech’s house [1 Sam. 21:7; 22:7–23].”
52 Mighty warrior, why do you ·brag [boast] about the evil you do?
God’s ·love [loyalty] will continue ·forever [L everyday; all day].
2 You think up ·evil plans [L destruction].
Your tongue is like a sharp razor [Prov. 18:21],
making up ·lies [deception].
3 You love ·wrong [evil] more than ·right [good]
and ·lies [falsehood] more than speaking the truth. ·
4 You love words that ·bite [destroy; L swallow up]
and ·tongues that lie [deceptive tongues; James 3:1–12].
5 But God will ·ruin you [L break you down] forever.
He will grab you and ·throw [tear] you out of your tent;
he will ·tear you away [uproot you] from the land of the living. ·
6 Those who ·do right [are righteous] will see this and ·fear God [L fear; Prov. 1:7].
They will laugh at you and say,
7 “·Look what happened to [T Behold] the man
who did not ·depend on God [L make God his refuge]
but ·depended on [trusted/put his confidence in] ·his money [L the abundance of his wealth].
He grew strong by his ·evil [destructive] plans.”
8 But I am like ·an olive tree
growing [L a green olive tree] in God’s ·Temple [L house; 1:3; 92:12–13; Jer. 11:16].
I ·trust [have confidence in] God’s ·love [loyalty]
forever and ever.
9 God, I will ·thank [praise] you forever for what you have done.
With ·those who worship you [his loyal ones/saints], I will ·trust [put my confidence in] you because you are good.
Psalm 52
New Life Version
Trust in God’s Love
52 Why do you take pride in wrong-doing, O powerful man? The loving-kindness of God lasts all day long. 2 Your tongue makes plans to destroy like a sharp knife, you who lie. 3 You love what is bad more than what is good, and you speak lies more than you speak the truth. 4 You love all words that destroy, O lying tongue.
5 But God will destroy you forever. He will pick you up and pull you away from your tent. He will pull up your roots from the land of the living. 6 And those who are right will see and be afraid. They will laugh at him, saying, 7 “Look, the man who would not make God his safe place, but trusted in his many riches and was strong in his sinful desire.”
8 But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God. I trust in the loving-kindness of God forever and ever. 9 I will give You thanks forever because of what You have done. And I will hope in Your name, for it is good to be where those who belong to You are.
