ΨΑΛΜΟΙ - Salmi - Psalms 52

LXX	NEW JERUSALEM
1 εις το τελος υπερ μαελεθ συνεσεως τω δαυιδ	1 [For the choirmaster Poem Of David When Doeg the Edomite went and warned Saul, 'David has goneto Abimelech's house'] Why take pride in being wicked, you champion in vil ainy, al day long
2 ειπεν αφρων εν καρδια αυτου ουκ εστιν θεος διεφθαρησαν και εβδελυχθησαν εν ανομιαις ουκ εστιν ποιων αγαθον	2 plotting crime? Your tongue is razor-sharp, you artist in perfidy.
3 ο θεος εκ του ουρανου διεκυψεν επι τους υιους των ανθρωπων του ιδειν ει εστιν συνιων η εκζητων τον θεον	3 You prefer evil to good, lying to uprightness. Pause
4 παντες εξεκλιναν αμα ηχρεωθησαν ουκ εστιν ποιων αγαθον ουκ εστιν εως ενος	4 You revel in destructive talk, treacherous tongue!
5 ουχι γνωσονται παντες οι εργαζομενοι την ανομιαν οι εσθοντες τον λαον μου βρωσει αρτου τον θεον ουκ επεκαλεσαντο	5 That is why God wil crush you, destroy you once and for all, snatch you from your tent, uproot youfrom the land of the living.Pause
6 εκει φοβηθησονται φοβον ου ουκ ην φοβος οτι ο θεος διεσκορπισεν οστα ανθρωπαρεσκων κατησχυνθησαν οτι ο θεος εξουδενωσεν αυτους	6 The upright wil be awestruck as they see it, they wil mock him,
7 τις δωσει εκ σιων το σωτηριον του ισραηλ εν τω επιστρεψαι κυριον την αιχμαλωσιαν του λαου αυτου αγαλλιασεται ιακωβ και ευφρανθησεται ισραηλ	7 'So much for someone who would not place his reliance in God, but relied on his own great wealth,and made himself strong by crime.'
	8 But I, like a flourishing olive tree in the house of God, put my trust in God's faithful love, for ever andever.
	9 I shal praise you for ever for what you have done, and shal trust in your name, so ful of goodness, inthe presence of your faithful.
