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

For the chief musician. A maschil of David; when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said to him, “David has come to the house of Ahimelech.” Why are you proud of making trouble, you mighty man? The covenant faithfulness of God comes every day.

2 tota die iniustitiam cogitavit lingua tua sicut novacula acuta fecisti dolum

Your tongue plans destruction like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

3 dilexisti malitiam super benignitatem iniquitatem magis quam loqui aequitatem diapsalma

You love evil more than good and lying rather than speaking righteousness. (Selah)

4 dilexisti omnia verba praecipitationis linguam dolosam

You love all words that devour others, you deceitful tongue.

5 propterea Deus destruet te in finem evellet te et emigrabit te de tabernaculo et radicem tuam de terra viventium diapsalma

God will likewise destroy you forever; he will take you up and pluck you out of your tent and root you out of the land of the living. (Selah)

6 videbunt iusti et timebunt et super eum ridebunt et dicent

The righteous will also see it and fear; they will laugh at him and say,

7 ecce homo qui non posuit Deum adiutorem suum sed speravit in multitudine divitiarum suarum et praevaluit in vanitate sua

“See, this is a man who did not make God his refuge, but he trusted in the abundance of his wealth, and he was strong when he destroyed others.”

8 ego autem sicut oliva fructifera in domo Dei speravi in misericordia Dei in aeternum et in saeculum saeculi

But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in God's house; I will trust in the covenant faithfulness of God forever and ever.

9 confitebor tibi in saeculum quia fecisti et expectabo nomen tuum quoniam bonum in conspectu sanctorum tuorum

I will give you thanks forever for what you have done. I will wait for your name, because it is good, in the presence of your godly people.
