Ang Paghatol at Habag ng Dios

52 Ikaw, taong mapagmataas,
    bakit mo ipinagyayabang ang kasamaan mo?
    Hindi baʼt ang Dios ay palaging mabuti sa iyo?
Sa pagbabalak mo ng masama laban sa iba,
    kasintalim ng pang-ahit ang iyong dila,
    at lagi kang nagsisinungaling.
Minamahal mo ang kasamaan kaysa sa kabutihan,
    at mas nais mong magsinungaling kaysa magsabi ng katotohanan.
Taong sinungaling, ang gusto moʼy makapanakit ng iba sa pamamagitan ng iyong pananalita.
Ngunit dudurugin ka ng Dios nang tuluyan.
    Dadakpin ka at kakaladkarin palabas ng bahay;
    bubunutin ka mula rito sa mundo ng mga buhay.
Makikita ito ng mga matuwid at magtataka sila. Pagtatawanan ka nila at sasabihing,
“Tingnan ninyo ang taong hindi nanalig sa Dios bilang matibay nilang kanlungan.
    Sa halip, nagtiwala lang sa kanyang masaganang kayamanan,
    at patindi nang patindi ang kanyang kasamaan.”

Ngunit ako ay tulad ng punong olibo
    na yumayabong sa loob ng inyong templo.
    Nagtitiwala ako sa inyong pag-ibig magpakailanman.
Pasasalamatan ko kayo magpakailanman dahil sa mga ginawa ninyo.
    At sa harapan ng mga matatapat sa inyo, ipapahayag ko ang kabutihan ninyo.

Treacherous Tongue!

Psalm 52

For the music director: a contemplative song of David, when Doeg the Edomite came and reported to Saul telling him, “David went to Ahimelech’s house.”
Why do you brag about evil, mighty man?
God’s lovingkindness is every day.
Your tongue plots destruction,
like a sharp razor, working deceit.
You love evil instead of good,
lying rather than speaking right. Selah
You love only devouring words—
treacherous tongue!
God will pull you down forever,
and snatch you, rip you out of your tent,
and uproot you from the land of the living. Selah
Then the righteous will see and fear,
and laugh at him:
“Here is the man who did not make God his stronghold.
Instead he trusted in his great riches—
    and was strong in his evil desire.”
10 But I—I am like an olive tree flourishing in the House of God.
I trust in God’s lovingkindness forever and ever.
11 I will praise You forever for what You have done.
I will hope in Your Name, for it is good,
in the presence of Your kedoshim.

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)
