< Psalmorum 52 >

1 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?
Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of El endureth continually.
2 Tota die iniustitiam cogitavit lingua tua: sicut novacula acuta fecisti dolum.
Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp rasor, working deceitfully.
3 Dilexisti malitiam super benignitatem: iniquitatem magis quam loqui aequitatem.
Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. (Selah)
4 Dilexisti omnia verba praecipitationis, lingua dolosa.
Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.
5 Propterea Deus destruet te in finem, evellet te, et emigrabit te de tabernaculo tuo: et radicem tuam de terra viventium.
El shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of thy dwelling place, and root thee out of the land of the living. (Selah)
6 Videbunt iusti, et timebunt, et super eum ridebunt, et dicent:
The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:
7 ecce homo, qui non posuit Deum adiutorem suum: Sed speravit in multitudine divitiarum suarum: et praevaluit in vanitate sua.
Lo, this is the man that made not Elohim his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.
8 Ego autem, sicut oliva fructifera in domo Dei, speravi in misericordia Dei in aeternum: et in saeculum saeculi.
But I am like a green olive tree in the house of Elohim: I trust in the mercy of Elohim for ever and ever.
9 Confitebor tibi in saeculum quia fecisti: et expectabo nomen tuum, quoniam bonum est in conspectu sanctorum tuorum.
I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name; for it is good before thy saints.
