叹恶人狂妄自夸

52 以东多益来告诉扫罗说:“大卫到了亚希米勒家。”那时,大卫作这训诲诗,交于伶长。

勇士啊,你为何以作恶自夸?神的慈爱是常存的。
你的舌头邪恶诡诈,好像剃头刀,快利伤人。
你爱恶胜似爱善,又爱说谎,不爱说公义。(细拉)
诡诈的舌头啊,你爱说一切毁灭的话!
神也要毁灭你,直到永远。他要把你拿去,从你的帐篷中抽出,从活人之地将你拔出。(细拉)
义人要看见而惧怕,并要笑他,
说:“看哪!这就是那不以神为他力量的人,只倚仗他丰富的财物,在邪恶上坚立自己。”
至于我,就像神殿中的青橄榄树,我永永远远倚靠神的慈爱。
我要称谢你,直到永远,因为你行了这事。我也要在你圣民面前仰望你的名,这名本为美好。

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)
