旧约 - 诗篇(Psalms)第52章

" Why do you boast of evil, you mighty man? Why do you boast all day long, you who are a disgrace in the eyes of God?
Your tongue plots destruction; it is like a sharpened razor, you who practice deceit.
You love evil rather than good, falsehood rather than speaking the truth. Selah
You love every harmful word, O you deceitful tongue!
Surely God will bring you down to everlasting ruin: He will snatch you up and tear you from your tent; he will uproot you from the land of the living. Selah
The righteous will see and fear; they will laugh at him, saying,
"Here now is the man who did not make God his stronghold but trusted in his great wealth and grew strong by destroying others!"
But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in God's unfailing love for ever and ever.
I will praise you forever for what you have done; in your name I will hope, for your name is good. I will praise you in the presence of your saints.
诗篇第五十二篇   第 52 篇 

  诗 52:1> 人都在夸口自己如何聪明如何有计谋有勇力;其实真有这许多可夸的吗? 

  52:1 这首诗写的是以东人多益。他背叛了亚希米勒和大卫,杀害了神的祭司(参撒上 21:7 ; 22:9-23 )。多益认为自己是个大英雄,还吹嘘自己的行为。实际上他的行为邪恶,而且触犯了神。我们很容易把成功跟良善混淆了。某件事做得成功或做得完全并不意味着这件事就是好事(例如:有人可能精通赌博或是谎言家)。我们要用神的话语来衡量自己的所作所为,而不是靠自己或世俗的标准来判定成功。 

  诗 52:8> 我也渴望作神殿中的青橄榄树,我渴望…… 

  52:8 在神的身旁,大卫将自己比作神殿中的青橄榄树。橄榄树不仅是生命最长的树木之一,而且长青。大卫将神对忠心仆人永久的保护,同神对恶人突击性地毁灭作了鲜明的对比( 52:5-7 )。──《灵修版圣经注释》
