诗篇 52
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
叹恶人狂妄自夸
52 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，交于伶长。
1 勇士啊，你为何以作恶自夸？神的慈爱是常存的。
2 你的舌头邪恶诡诈，好像剃头刀，快利伤人。
3 你爱恶胜似爱善，又爱说谎，不爱说公义。（细拉）
4 诡诈的舌头啊，你爱说一切毁灭的话！
5 神也要毁灭你，直到永远。他要把你拿去，从你的帐篷中抽出，从活人之地将你拔出。（细拉）
6 义人要看见而惧怕，并要笑他，
7 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 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 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。
詩篇 52
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
上帝的審判和慈愛
以東人多益去告訴掃羅：「大衛到了亞希米勒家。」那時大衛作了這首訓誨詩，交給樂長。
52 勇士啊，你為何以作惡為榮？
上帝的慈愛永遠長存。
2 你這詭詐的人啊，
舌頭利如剃刀，
盡是害人的奸計。
3 你喜愛邪惡，不愛良善；
你喜愛虛謊，不愛真理。（細拉）
4 你有詭詐的舌頭，
好說惡言惡語。
5 上帝必永遠毀滅你，
祂必抓住你，
把你從家裡拉出來，
從活人之地剷除。（細拉）
6 義人看見必心生敬畏，
他們必嘲笑說：
7 「看啊，這就是不依靠上帝的人，
他只倚仗自己的財富和以殘暴手段獲得的權勢。」
8 我就像上帝殿中的一棵橄欖樹，枝繁葉茂，
我永永遠遠信靠上帝的慈愛。
9 上帝啊，
我要永遠讚美你的作為。
我要在你忠心的子民面前仰望你美善的名。
Psalm 52
New King James Version
The End of the Wicked and the Peace of the Godly
To the Chief Musician. A [a]Contemplation of David (A)when Doeg the Edomite went and (B)told Saul, and said to him, “David has gone to the house of Ahimelech.”
52 Why do you boast in evil, O mighty man?
The goodness of God endures continually.
2 Your tongue devises destruction,
Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
3 You love evil more than good,
Lying rather than speaking righteousness. Selah
4 You love all devouring words,
You deceitful tongue.
5 God shall likewise destroy you forever;
He shall take you away, and pluck you out of your dwelling place,
And uproot you from the land of the living. Selah
6 The righteous also shall see and fear,
And shall laugh at him, saying,
7 “Here is the man who did not make God his strength,
But trusted in the abundance of his riches,
And strengthened himself in his [b]wickedness.”
8 But I am (C)like a green olive tree in the house of God;
I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever.
9 I will praise You forever,
Because You have done it;
And in the presence of Your saints
I will wait on Your name, for it [c]is good.

The Steadfast Love of God Endures
To the choirmaster. A Maskil[a] of David, when (A)Doeg, the Edomite, came and told Saul, “David has come to the house of Ahimelech.”
52 Why do you boast of evil, O mighty man?
The steadfast love of God endures all the day.
2 Your (B)tongue plots destruction,
like (C)a sharp razor, you (D)worker of deceit.
3 You love evil more than good,
and (E)lying more than speaking what is right. Selah
4 You love all words that devour,
O deceitful tongue.
5 But God will break you down for ever;
he will snatch and (F)tear you from your tent;
he will uproot you from (G)the land of the living. Selah
6 The righteous shall (H)see and fear,
and shall (I)laugh at him, saying,
7 “See the man who would not make
God his refuge,
but (J)trusted in the abundance of his riches
and sought refuge in his own destruction!”[b]
8 But I am like (K)a green olive tree
in the house of God.
I trust in the steadfast love of God
for ever and ever.
9 I will thank you for ever,
because you have done it.
I will wait for your name, (L)for it is good,
in the presence of the (M)godly.

The Deceitful Tongue
1 For the leader. A maskil of David, 2 when Doeg the Edomite entered and reported to Saul, saying to him: “David has entered the house of Ahimelech.”(A)
I
3 Why do you glory in what is evil, you who are mighty by the mercy of God?
All day long
4 you are thinking up intrigues;
your tongue is like a sharpened razor,
you worker of deceit.(B)
5 You love evil more than good,
lying rather than saying what is right.(C)
Selah
6 You love all the words that create confusion,
you deceitful tongue.(D)
II
7 God too will strike you down forever,
he will lay hold of you and pluck you from your tent,
uproot you from the land of the living.(E)
Selah
8 The righteous will see and they will fear;
but they will laugh at him:(F)
9 “Behold the man! He did not take God as his refuge,
but he trusted in the abundance of his wealth,
and grew powerful through his wickedness.”(G)
III
10 But I, like an olive tree[b] flourishing in the house of God,(H)
I trust in God’s mercy forever and ever.
11 I will thank you forever
for what you have done.
I will put my hope in your name—for it is good,(I)
—in the presence of those devoted to you.
