Psalmorum 52
1 in finem intellectus David cum venit Doec Idumeus et adnuntiavit Saul et dixit venit David in domo Achimelech quid gloriatur in malitia qui potens est iniquitate
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of Instruction, of David. When Doeg the Edomite went, and told Saul; and said to him, —David, hath entered the house of Ahimelech. Why dost thou boast thyself of wickedness, O mighty man? The lovingkindness of GOD, [lasteth] all the day.
2 tota die iniustitiam cogitavit lingua tua sicut novacula acuta fecisti dolum
Engulfing ruin, doth thy tongue devise, Like a whetted razor, working deceit;
3 dilexisti malitiam super benignitatem iniquitatem magis quam loqui aequitatem diapsalma
Thou lovest Evil more than good, Falsehood, more than speaking righteousness. (Selah)
4 dilexisti omnia verba praecipitationis linguam dolosam
Thou lovest all devouring words, O deceitful tongue!
5 propterea Deus destruet te in finem evellet te et emigrabit te de tabernaculo et radicem tuam de terra viventium diapsalma
GOD also, will break thee down utterly, He will snatch thee up and tear thee away tentless, And uproot thee, out of the land of the living. (Selah)
6 videbunt iusti et timebunt et super eum ridebunt et dicent
The righteous shall both see and fear, And, over him, shall laugh:
7 ecce homo qui non posuit Deum adiutorem suum sed speravit in multitudine divitiarum suarum et praevaluit in vanitate sua
Lo! the man who made not God his refuge, —But trusted in the abundance of his riches, Emboldened himself in his wealth!
8 ego autem sicut oliva fructifera in domo Dei speravi in misericordia Dei in aeternum et in saeculum saeculi
But, I, am like a flourishing olive-tree, in the house of God, I have put confidence in the lovingkindness of God, for times age-abiding and beyond.
9 confitebor tibi in saeculum quia fecisti et expectabo nomen tuum quoniam bonum in conspectu sanctorum tuorum
I will praise thee to times age-abiding, Because thou didst effectually work, —And I will wait on thy Name, Because it is good, In the presence of thy men of lovingkindness.
