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 Doeg Idumæus, et nunciavit 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 iniustitiam 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 iusti, 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 adiutorem 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 expectabo nomen tuum, quoniam bonum est in conspectu sanctorum tuorum.
