Psalms 52
1 To victorie, the salm of Dauid, `whanne Doech Idumei cam, and telde to Saul, and seide to him, Dauid cam in to the hows of Abymelech. What hast thou glorie in malice; which art miyti in wickidnesse?
In finem. Intellectus David, cum venit Doëg Idumæus, et nuntiavit Sauli: Venit David in domum Achimelech. [Quid gloriaris in malitia, qui potens es in iniquitate?
2 Al dai thi tunge thouyte vnriytfulnesse; as a scharp rasour thou hast do gile.
Tota die injustitiam cogitavit lingua tua; sicut novacula acuta fecisti dolum.
3 Thou louedist malice more than benygnite; `thou louedist wickidnesse more than to speke equite.
Dilexisti malitiam super benignitatem; iniquitatem magis quam loqui æquitatem.
4 Thou louedist alle wordis of casting doun; with a gileful tunge.
Dilexisti omnia verba præcipitationis; lingua dolosa.
5 Therfor God schal distrie thee in to the ende, he schal drawe thee out bi the roote, and he schal make thee to passe awei fro thi tabernacle; and thi roote fro the lond of lyuynge men.
Propterea Deus destruet te in finem; evellet te, et emigrabit te de tabernaculo tuo, et radicem tuam de terra viventium.
6 Iust men schulen se, and schulen drede; and thei schulen leiye on hym, and thei schulen seie, Lo!
Videbunt justi, et timebunt; et super eum ridebunt, et dicent:
7 the man that settide not God his helpere. But he hopide in the multitude of his richessis; and hadde maistrie in his vanite.
Ecce homo qui non posuit Deum adjutorem suum; sed speravit in multitudine divitiarum suarum, et prævaluit in vanitate sua.
8 Forsothe Y, as a fruytful olyue tre in the hous of God; hopide in the merci of God with outen ende, and in to the world of world.
Ego autem, sicut oliva fructifera in domo Dei; speravi in misericordia Dei, in æternum et in sæculum sæculi.
9 Y schal knowleche to thee in to the world, for thou hast do mercy to me; and Y schal abide thi name, for it is good in the siyt of thi seyntis.
Confitebor tibi in sæculum, quia fecisti; et exspectabo nomen tuum, quoniam bonum est in conspectu sanctorum tuorum.]
