Psalms 52

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Unto the end. For Mahalath: the thoughts of David. The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”	1 Unto the end, understanding for David,
2 They were corrupted, and they became abominable with iniquities. There is no one who does good.	2 when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul David went to the house of Achimelech
3 God gazed down from heaven on the sons of men, to see if there were any who were considering or seeking God.	3 Why dost thou glory in malice, thou that art mighty in iniquity?
4 All have gone astray; together they have become useless. There is no one who does good; there is not even one.	4 All the day long thy tongue hath devised injustice: as a sharp razor, thou hast wrought deceit.
5 Will they never learn: all those who work iniquity, who devour my people like a meal of bread?	5 Thou hast loved malice more than goodness: and iniquity rather than to speak righteousness.
6 They have not called upon God. In that place, they have trembled in fear, where there was no fear. For God has scattered the bones of those who please men. They have been confounded, because God has spurned them.	6 Thou hast loved all the words of ruin, O deceitful tongue.
7 Who will grant from Zion the salvation of Israel? Jacob will exult, when God will convert the captivity of his people; and Israel will rejoice.	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 The just shall see and fear, and shall laugh at him, and say:
	9 Behold the man that made not God his helper: But trusted in the abundance of his riches: and prevailed in his vanity.
	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 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.
