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.

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!”

詩篇 52
Revised Chinese Union Version (Traditional Script) Shen Edition
以東人多益來告訴掃羅說:「大衛到了亞希米勒的家。」那時,大衛作這訓誨詩。交給聖詠團長。
神的審判和恩惠(A)
52 勇士啊,你為何作惡自誇?
神的慈愛是常存的。
2 你這行詭詐的人哪,
你的舌頭像快利的剃刀,圖謀毀滅。
3 你愛惡勝似愛善,
又愛說謊,勝於愛說公義。(細拉)
4 詭詐的舌頭啊,
你愛說一切毀滅的話!
5 神也要毀滅你,直到永遠。
他要抓住你,從帳棚中拉你出來,
從活人之地將你拔除。(細拉)
6 義人要看見而懼怕,
並要笑他。
7 看哪,這就是那不以 神為保障的人,
他只倚靠豐富的財物,在邪惡上堅立自己。
8 至於我,就像 神殿中的青橄欖樹,
我永永遠遠倚靠 神的慈愛。
9 我要稱謝你,直到永遠,
因為你做了這事。
我也要在你聖民面前仰望你的名,
這名本為美好。
