תהילים 52

1 לַמְנַצֵּחַ מַשְׂכִּיל לְדָוִֽד׃ בְּבוֹא ׀ דּוֹאֵג הָאֲדֹמִי וַיַּגֵּד לְשָׁאוּל וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ בָּא דָוִד אֶל־בֵּית אֲחִימֶֽלֶךְ׃ מַה־תִּתְהַלֵּל בְּרָעָה הַגִּבּוֹר חֶסֶד אֵל כָּל־הַיּֽוֹם׃

For the end, [a Psalm] of instruction by David, when Doec the Idumean came and told Saul, and said to him, David is gone to the house of Abimelech. Why do you, O mighty man, boast of iniquity in [your] mischief? All the day

2 הַוּוֹת תַּחְשֹׁב לְשׁוֹנֶךָ כְּתַעַר מְלֻטָּשׁ עֹשֵׂה רְמִיָּֽה׃

your tongue has devised unrighteousness; like a sharpened razor you have wrought deceit.

3 אָהַבְתָּ רָּע מִטּוֹב שֶׁקֶר ׀ מִדַּבֵּר צֶדֶק סֶֽלָה׃

You have loved wickedness more than goodness; unrighteousness better than to speak righteousness. (Pause)

4 אָהַבְתָּ כָֽל־דִּבְרֵי־בָלַע לְשׁוֹן מִרְמָֽה׃

You has loved all words of destruction, [and] a deceitful tongue.

5 גַּם־אֵל יִתָּצְךָ לָנֶצַח יַחְתְּךָ וְיִסָּחֲךָ מֵאֹהֶל וְשֵֽׁרֶשְׁךָ מֵאֶרֶץ חַיִּים סֶֽלָה׃

Therefore may God destroy you for ever, may he pluck you up and utterly remove you from [your] dwelling, and your root from the land of the living. (Pause)

6 וְיִרְאוּ צַדִּיקִים וְיִירָאוּ וְעָלָיו יִשְׂחָֽקוּ׃

And the righteous shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him, and say,

7 הִנֵּה הַגֶּבֶר לֹא יָשִׂים אֱלֹהִים מָֽעוּזּוֹ וַיִּבְטַח בְּרֹב עָשְׁרוֹ יָעֹז בְּהַוָּתֽוֹ׃

Behold the man who made not God his help; but trusted in the abundance of his wealth, and strengthened himself in his vanity.

8 וַאֲנִי ׀ כְּזַיִת רַעֲנָן בְּבֵית אֱלֹהִים בָּטַחְתִּי בְחֶֽסֶד־אֱלֹהִים עוֹלָם וָעֶֽד׃

But I am as a fruitful olive in the house of God: I have trusted in the mercy of God for ever, even for evermore.

9 אוֹדְךָ לְעוֹלָם כִּי עָשִׂיתָ וַאֲקַוֶּה שִׁמְךָ כִֽי־טוֹב נֶגֶד חֲסִידֶֽיךָ׃

I will give thanks to you for ever, for you have done [it]: and I will wait on your name; for [it is] good before the saints.
