Psalms 52
1 For the chief musician. A maschil of David; when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said to him, “David has come to the house of Ahimelech.” Why are you proud of making trouble, you mighty man? The covenant faithfulness of God comes every day.
Psalmus In finem, Intellectus David, Cum venit Doeg Idumaeus, et nunciavit Sauli: Venit David in domum Abimelech. Quid gloriaris in malitia, qui potens es in iniquitate?
2 Your tongue plans destruction like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
Tota die iniustitiam cogitavit lingua tua: sicut novacula acuta fecisti dolum.
3 You love evil more than good and lying rather than speaking righteousness. (Selah)
Dilexisti malitiam super benignitatem: iniquitatem magis quam loqui aequitatem.
4 You love all words that devour others, you deceitful tongue.
Dilexisti omnia verba praecipitationis, lingua dolosa.
5 God will likewise destroy you forever; he will take you up and pluck you out of your tent and root you out of the land of the living. (Selah)
Propterea Deus destruet te in finem, evellet te, et emigrabit te de tabernaculo tuo: et radicem tuam de terra viventium.
6 The righteous will also see it and fear; they will laugh at him and say,
Videbunt iusti, et timebunt, et super eum ridebunt, et dicent:
7 “See, this is a man who did not make God his refuge, but he trusted in the abundance of his wealth, and he was strong when he destroyed others.”
ecce homo, qui non posuit Deum adiutorem suum: Sed speravit in multitudine divitiarum suarum: et praevaluit in vanitate sua.
8 But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in God's house; I will trust in the covenant faithfulness of God forever and ever.
Ego autem, sicut oliva fructifera in domo Dei, speravi in misericordia Dei in aeternum: et in saeculum saeculi.
9 I will give you thanks forever for what you have done. I will wait for your name, because it is good, in the presence of your godly people.
Confitebor tibi in saeculum quia fecisti: et expectabo nomen tuum, quoniam bonum est in conspectu sanctorum tuorum.
