Awit 52
Ang Dating Biblia (1905)
52 Bakit ka naghahambog sa kasamaan, Oh makapangyarihang tao? Ang kagandahang-loob ng Dios ay palagi.
2 Ang dila mo'y kumakatha ng totoong masama; gaya ng matalas na pangahit, na gumagawang may karayaan.
3 Iniibig mo ang kasamaan ng higit kay sa kabutihan; at ang pagsisinungaling kay sa pagsasalita ng katuwiran. (Selah)
4 Iniibig mo ang lahat na mananakmal na salita, Oh ikaw na magdarayang dila.
5 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)
6 Makikita naman ng matuwid, at matatakot, at tatawa sa kaniya, na magsasabi,
7 Narito, ito ang tao na hindi ginawang kaniyang katibayan, ang Dios; kundi tumiwala sa kasaganaan ng kaniyang mga kayamanan, at nagpakalakas sa kaniyang kasamaan.
8 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.
9 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.
Psalm 52
New International Version
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!”

Psalm 52
English Standard Version
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 forever;
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
forever and ever.
9 I will thank you forever,
because you have done it.
I will wait for your name, (L)for it is good,
in the presence of the (M)godly.
