52 Bakit ka naghahambog sa kasamaan, Oh makapangyarihang tao? Ang kagandahang-loob ng Dios ay palagi.

Ang dila mo'y kumakatha ng totoong masama; gaya ng matalas na pangahit, na gumagawang may karayaan.

Iniibig mo ang kasamaan ng higit kay sa kabutihan; at ang pagsisinungaling kay sa pagsasalita ng katuwiran. (Selah)

Iniibig mo ang lahat na mananakmal na salita, Oh ikaw na magdarayang dila.

Ilulugmok ka ring gayon ng Dios magpakailan man, itataas ka niya, at ilalabas ka sa iyong tolda, at bubunutin ka niya sa lupain ng may buhay. (Selah)

Makikita naman ng matuwid, at matatakot, at tatawa sa kaniya, na magsasabi,

Narito, ito ang tao na hindi ginawang kaniyang katibayan, ang Dios; kundi tumiwala sa kasaganaan ng kaniyang mga kayamanan, at nagpakalakas sa kaniyang kasamaan.

Nguni't tungkol sa akin, ay gaya ako ng sariwang punong kahoy ng olibo sa bahay ng Dios: tumitiwala ako sa kagandahang-loob ng Dios magpakailan-kailan man.

Ako'y magpapasalamat sa iyo magpakailan man, sapagka't iyong ginawa: at ako'y maghihintay sa iyong pangalan sapagka't mabuti, sa harapan ng iyong mga banal.

52 Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth continually.

The tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.

Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.

God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of thy dwelling place, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah.

The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:

Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.

But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.

I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name; for it is good before thy saints.

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.”

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?
You who practice deceit,(D)
    your tongue plots destruction;(E)
    it is like a sharpened razor.(F)
You love evil(G) rather than good,
    falsehood(H) rather than speaking the truth.[c]
You love every harmful word,
    you deceitful tongue!(I)

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)
The righteous will see and fear;
    they will laugh(M) at you, saying,
“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!”

But I am like an olive tree(P)
    flourishing in the house of God;
I trust(Q) in God’s unfailing love
    for ever and ever.
For what you have done I will always praise you(R)
    in the presence of your faithful people.(S)
And I will hope in your name,(T)
    for your name is good.(U)
