Psalm 52
International Children’s Bible
God Will Punish the Proud
For the director of music. A maskil of David. When Doeg the Edomite came to Saul and said to him, “David is in Ahimelech’s house.”
52 Mighty warrior, why do you brag about the evil you do?
God’s love will continue forever.
2 You think up evil plans.
Your tongue is like a sharp razor,
making up lies.
3 You love wrong more than right
and lies more than truth. Selah
4 You love words that bite
and tongues that lie.
5 But God will ruin you forever.
He will grab you and throw you out of your tent.
He will tear you away from the land of the living. Selah
6 Those who do right will see this and fear God.
They will laugh at you and say,
7 “Look what happened to the man
who did not depend on God.
Instead, he depended on his money.
He grew strong by his evil plans.”
8 But I am like an olive tree
growing in God’s Temple.
I trust God’s love
forever and ever.
9 God, I will thank you forever for what you have done.
With those who worship you, I will trust you because you are good.

Thánh Thi Đa-vít Để Dạy Dỗ Khi Đô-e, Người Ê-đôm Báo Cho Sau-lơ Biết Đa-vít Đã Vào Nhà A-bi-mê-léc
52 Hỡi người mạnh bạo,[a]
Tại sao ngươi khoe khoang về điều ác?
Tình yêu thương của Đức Chúa Trời tồn tại mãi mãi.
2 Ngươi mưu toan hủy diệt,
Lưỡi ngươi như dao cạo bén
Nói[b] điều lừa dối.
3 Ngươi chuộng điều ác hơn điều thiện,
Thích gian dối hơn lời ngay thẳng. Sê-la
4 Hỡi lưỡi lừa dối,
Ngươi thích tất cả những lời độc hại.[c]
5 Cho nên,[d] Đức Chúa Trời sẽ phá hủy ngươi hoàn toàn.[e]
Ngài sẽ bắt ngươi,[f] kéo ngươi ra khỏi trại
Và nhổ ngươi khỏi đất người sống. Sê-la
6 Nhưng những người công chính sẽ thấy và sợ.
Họ sẽ cười ngươi rằng:
7 Kìa, là người không cậy Đức Chúa Trời
Làm thành lũy mình,
Nhưng tin cậy nơi sự giàu có dư dật của mình,
Trở nên mạnh mẽ[g] trong sự gian ác mình.[h]
8 Nhưng tôi thì giống như cây ô-liu
Xanh tươi trong nhà Đức Chúa Trời.
Tôi hằng tin cậy nơi tình yêu thương của Đức Chúa Trời
Đến đời đời.
9 Tôi ca ngợi Ngài đời đời vì những điều Ngài đã làm.[i]
Tôi sẽ trông cậy nơi danh Ngài trước mặt những người trung tín của Ngài[j]
Vì danh ấy là tốt lành.

Psalm 52
New International Reader's Version
For the director of music. A maskil of David when Doeg, who was from Edom, had gone to Saul. Doeg had told Saul, “David has gone to the house of Ahimelek.”
52 You think you are such a big, strong man!
Why do you brag about the evil things you’ve done?
You are a dishonor to God all the time.
2 You plan ways to destroy others.
Your tongue is like a blade that has a sharp edge.
You are always telling lies.
3 You love evil instead of good.
You would rather lie than tell the truth.
4 You love to harm others with your words, you liar!
5 So God will destroy you forever.
He will grab you and pluck you from your tent.
He will remove you from this life.
6 Those who do what is right will see it and learn a lesson from it.
They will laugh at you and say,
7 “Just look at this fellow!
He didn’t depend on God for his safety.
He put his trust in all his wealth.
He grew strong by destroying others!”
8 But I am like a healthy olive tree.
My roots are deep in the house of God.
I trust in your faithful love
for ever and ever.
9 I will praise you forever for what you have done.
I will praise you when I’m with your faithful people.
I will put my hope in you because you are good.

Psalm 52[a]
For the director of music. A maskil[b] of David. When Doeg the Edomite(A) had gone to Saul and told him: “David has gone to the house of Ahimelek.”
1 Why do you boast of evil, you mighty hero?
Why do you boast(B) all day long,(C)
you who are a disgrace in the eyes of God?
2 You who practice deceit,(D)
your tongue plots destruction;(E)
it is like a sharpened razor.(F)
3 You love evil(G) rather than good,
falsehood(H) rather than speaking the truth.[c]
4 You love every harmful word,
you deceitful tongue!(I)
5 Surely God will bring you down to everlasting ruin:
He will snatch you up and pluck(J) you from your tent;
he will uproot(K) you from the land of the living.(L)
6 The righteous will see and fear;
they will laugh(M) at you, saying,
7 “Here now is the man
who did not make God his stronghold(N)
but trusted in his great wealth(O)
and grew strong by destroying others!”
