52:1 （以東人多益來告訴掃羅說：大衛到了亞希米勒家。那時，大衛作這訓誨詩，交與伶長。）勇士啊，你為何以作惡自誇？上帝的慈愛是常存的。
52:2 你的舌頭邪惡詭詐，好像剃頭刀，快利傷人。
52:3 你愛惡勝似愛善，又愛說謊，不愛說公義。（細拉）
52:4 詭詐的舌頭啊，你愛說一切毀滅的話！
52:5 上帝也要毀滅你，直到永遠；他要把你拿去，從你的帳棚中抽出，從活人之地將你拔出。（細拉）
52:6 義人要看見而懼怕，並要笑他，
52:7 說：看哪，這就是那不以上帝為他力量的人，只倚仗他豐富的財物，在邪惡上堅立自己。
52:8 至於我，就像上帝殿中的青橄欖樹；我永永遠遠倚靠上帝的慈愛。
52:9 我要稱謝你，直到永遠，因為你行了這事。我也要在你聖民面前仰望你的名；這名本為美好。

For the director of music. A maskil of David.
When Doeg the Edomite 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 all day long,
you who are a disgrace in the eyes of God?
2 You who practice deceit,
your tongue plots destruction;
it is like a sharpened razor.
3 You love evil rather than good,
falsehood rather than speaking the truth.
4 You love every harmful word,
you deceitful tongue!

4 You love every harmful word,

5 Surely
God will bring you down to everlasting ruin:
He will snatch you up and pluck you from your tent;
he will uproot you from the land of the living.
6 The righteous will see and fear;
they will laugh at you, saying,
7 “Here now is the man
who did not make God his stronghold
but trusted in his great wealth
and grew strong by destroying others!”

8 But
I am like an olive tree
flourishing in the house of God;
I trust in God’s unfailing love
for ever and ever.
9 For what you have done I will always praise you
in the presence of your faithful people.
And I will hope in your name,
for your name is good.
flourishing in the house of God;
I trust in God’s unfailing love
for ever and ever.
9 For what you have done I will always praise you
in the presence of your faithful people.
And I will hope in your name,
for your name is good.

人看見惡人作惡而興旺時，會抱怨上帝沒有眼睛，認為世界黑暗！但是大衛卻不一樣，他反而認為這樣的惡這必遭上帝的審判，上帝必定會彰顯他的公義，使這樣的人敗亡！
大衛在這裡宣告：「詭詐的舌頭啊，你愛說一切毀滅的話！上帝也要毀滅你，直到永遠；他要把你拿去，從你的帳棚中抽出，從活人之地將你拔出。」
並且說到義人該有的態度：「看哪，這就是那不以上帝為他力量的人，只倚仗他豐富的財物，在邪惡上堅立自己。至於我，就像上帝殿中的青橄欖樹；我永永遠遠倚靠上帝的慈愛。我要稱謝你，直到永遠，因為你行了這事。我也要在你聖民面前仰望你的名；這名本為美好。」
這也讓我們知道義人和惡人的差別，就是倚靠上帝還是以靠自己！尤其是現代人，受到啟蒙運動與現代化的影響，倚靠的是自己而不是上帝，甚至要用自己的方式來博取上帝的喜悅被上帝稱義！
其實聖經很清楚告訴我們：「若有人在基督裡，他就是新造的人，舊事已過，都變成新的了。一切都是出於上帝；他藉著基督使我們與他和好，又將勸人與他和好的職分賜給我們。」（哥林多後書5:17-18）
所以，在今日成為義人就是要靠耶穌基督與上帝有和好的關係，進而與人有和睦關係，與大自然有和諧的關係，這就是所謂的「平安」了！
