Psalmus 51 (52) |
Psalm 51 (52) |
| 1 In finem Intellectus David |
1Unto the end, understanding for David, |
| 2 Cum venit Doeg Idumaeus et nuntiavit Sauli Venit David in domum Achimelech |
2 When Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul David went to the house of Achimelech |
| 3 Quid gloriatur in malitia qui potens est iniquitate |
3 Why dost thou glory in malice, thou that art mighty in iniquity? |
| 4 Tota die iniustitiam cogitavit lingua tua sicut novacula acuta fecisti dolum |
4 All the day long thy tongue hath devised injustice: as a sharp razor, thou hast wrought deceit. |
| 5 Dilexisti malitiam super benignitatem iniquitatem magis quam loqui aequitatem |
5 Thou hast loved malice more than goodness: and iniquity rather than to speak righteousness. |
| 6 Dilexisti omnia verba praecipitationis linguam dolosam |
6 Thou hast loved all the words of ruin, O deceitful tongue. |
| 7 Propterea Deus destruet te in finem evellet te et emigrabit te de tabernaculo et radicem tuam de terra viventium |
7 Therefore will God destroy thee for ever: he will pluck thee out, and remove thee from thy dwelling place: and thy root out of the land of the living. |
| 8 Videbunt iusti et timebunt et super eum ridebunt et dicent |
8 The just shall see and fear, and shall laugh at him, and say: |
| 9 Ecce homo qui non posuit Deum adiutorem suum sed speravit in multitudine divitiarum suarum et praevaluit in vanitate sua |
9 Behold the man that made not God his helper: But trusted in the abundance of his riches: and prevailed in his vanity. |
| 10 Ego autem sicut oliva fructifera in domo Dei speravi in misericordia Dei in aeternum et in saeculum saeculi |
10 But I, as a fruitful olive tree in the house of God, have hoped in the mercy of God for ever, yea for ever and ever. |
| 11 Confitebor tibi in saeculum quia fecisti et expectabo nomen tuum quoniam bonum in conspectu sanctorum tuorum |
11 I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name, for it is good in the sight of thy saints. |
