Psalm 52
Common English Bible
Psalm 52
For the music leader. A maskil[a] of David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, “David has gone to Ahimelech’s house.”
52 Hey, powerful person!
Why do you brag about evil?
God’s faithful love lasts all day long.
2 Your tongue devises destruction:
it’s like a sharpened razor, causing deception.
3 You love evil more than good;
you love lying more than speaking what is right. Selah
4 You love all destructive words;
you love the deceiving tongue.
5 But God will take you down permanently;
he will snatch you up,
tear you out of your tent,
and uproot you from the land of the living! Selah
6 The righteous will see and be in awe;
they will laugh at those people:
7 “Look at them! They didn’t make God their refuge.
Instead, they trusted in their own great wealth.
They sought refuge in it—to their own destruction!”
8 But I am like a green olive tree in God’s house;
I trust in God’s faithful love forever and always.
9 I will give thanks to you, God, forever,
because you have acted.
In the presence of your faithful people,
I will hope in your name because it’s so good.

Psalm 52
GOD’S WORD Translation
For the choir director; a maskil; a psalm by David when Doeg (who was from Edom) told Saul that David had come to Ahimelech’s home.
52 Why do you brag about the evil you’ve done, you hero?
The mercy of God lasts all day long!
2 Your tongue makes up threats.
It’s like a sharp razor, you master of deceit.
3 You prefer evil to good.
You prefer lying to speaking the truth. Selah
4 You love every destructive accusation, you deceitful tongue!
5 But God will ruin you forever.
He will grab you and drag you out of your tent.
He will pull your roots out of this world of the living. Selah
6 Righteous people will see ⌞this⌟ and be struck with fear.
They will laugh at you and say,
7 “Look at this person who refused to make God his fortress!
Instead, he trusted his great wealth
and became strong through his greed.”
8 But I am like a large olive tree in God’s house.
I trust the mercy of God forever and ever.
9 I will give thanks to you forever
for what you have done.
In the presence of your godly people,
I will wait with hope in your good name.
诗篇 52
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
上帝的审判和慈爱
以东人多益去告诉扫罗：“大卫到了亚希米勒家。”那时大卫作了这首训诲诗，交给乐长。
52 勇士啊，你为何以作恶为荣？
上帝的慈爱永远长存。
2 你这诡诈的人啊，
舌头利如剃刀，
尽是害人的奸计。
3 你喜爱邪恶，不爱良善；
你喜爱虚谎，不爱真理。（细拉）
4 你有诡诈的舌头，
好说恶言恶语。
5 上帝必永远毁灭你，
祂必抓住你，
把你从家里拉出来，
从活人之地铲除。（细拉）
6 义人看见必心生敬畏，
他们必嘲笑说：
7 “看啊，这就是不依靠上帝的人，
他只倚仗自己的财富和以残暴手段获得的权势。”
8 我就像上帝殿中的一棵橄榄树，枝繁叶茂，
我永永远远信靠上帝的慈爱。
9 上帝啊，
我要永远赞美你的作为。
我要在你忠心的子民面前仰望你美善的名。
