< Psalms 52 >

1 To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid to giue instruction. When Doeg the Edomite came and shewed Saul, and saide to him, Dauid is come to the house of Abimelech. Why boastest thou thy selfe in thy wickednesse, O man of power? the louing kindenesse of God indureth dayly.
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
2 Thy tongue imagineth mischiefe, and is like a sharpe rasor, that cutteth deceitfully.
tota die iniustitiam cogitavit lingua tua sicut novacula acuta fecisti dolum
3 Thou doest loue euill more then good, and lies more then to speake the trueth. (Selah)
dilexisti malitiam super benignitatem iniquitatem magis quam loqui aequitatem diapsalma
4 Thou louest all wordes that may destroye, O deceitfull tongue!
dilexisti omnia verba praecipitationis linguam dolosam
5 So shall God destroy thee for euer: he shall take thee and plucke thee out of thy tabernacle, and roote thee out of ye land of the liuing. (Selah)
propterea Deus destruet te in finem evellet te et emigrabit te de tabernaculo et radicem tuam de terra viventium diapsalma
6 The righteous also shall see it, and feare, and shall laugh at him, saying,
videbunt iusti et timebunt et super eum ridebunt et dicent
7 Beholde the man that tooke not God for his strength, but trusted vnto the multitude of his riches, and put his strength in his malice.
ecce homo qui non posuit Deum adiutorem suum sed speravit in multitudine divitiarum suarum et praevaluit in vanitate sua
8 But I shall bee like a greene oliue tree in the house of God: for I trusted in the mercie of God for euer and euer.
ego autem sicut oliva fructifera in domo Dei speravi in misericordia Dei in aeternum et in saeculum saeculi
9 I will alway praise thee, for that thou hast done this, and I will hope in thy Name, because it is good before thy Saints.
confitebor tibi in saeculum quia fecisti et expectabo nomen tuum quoniam bonum in conspectu sanctorum tuorum
