ΨΑΛΜΟΙ 51

Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Εἰς τὸ τέλος· συνέσεως τῷ Δαυΐδ·
1Unto the end, understanding for David,
2ἐν τῷ ἐλθεῖν Δωὴκ τὸν Ἰδουμαῖον καὶ ἀναγγεῖλαι τῷ Σαοὺλ καὶ εἰπεῖν αὐτῷ· ἦλθε Δαυΐδ εἰς τὸν οἶκον Ἀβιμέλεχ.
2When Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul David went to the house of Achimelech. [1 Kings 22]
3ΤΙ ΕΓΚΑΥΧ„ ἐν κακίᾳ, ὁ δυνατός, ἀνομίαν ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν;
3Why dost thou glory in malice, thou that art mighty in iniquity?
4ἀδικίαν ἐλογίσατο ἡ γλῶσσά σου· ὡσεὶ ξυρὸν ἠκονημένον ἐποίησας δόλον.
4All the day long thy tongue hath devised injustice: as a sharp razor, thou hast wrought deceit.
5ἠγάπησας κακίαν ὑπὲρ ἀγαθωσύνην, ἀδικίαν ὑπὲρ τὸ λαλῆσαι δικαιοσύνην. (διάψαλμα).
5Thou hast loved malice more than goodness: and iniquity rather than to speak righteousness.
6ἠγάπησας πάντα τὰ ρήματα καταποντισμοῦ, γλῶσσαν δολίαν.
6Thou hast loved all the words of ruin, O deceitful tongue.
7διὰ τοῦτο ὁ Θεὸς καθέλοι σε εἰς τέλος· ἐκτίλαι σε καὶ μεταναστεύσαι σε ἀπὸ σκηνώματός σου καὶ τὸ ρίζωμά σου ἐκ γῆς ζώντων. (διάψαλμα).
7Therefore 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.
8ὄψονται δίκαιοι καὶ φοβηθήσονται καὶ ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν γελάσονται καὶ ἐροῦσιν·
8The just shall see and fear, and shall laugh at him, and say:
9ἰδοὺ ἄνθρωπος, ὃς οὐκ ἔθετο τὸν Θεὸν βοηθὸν αὐτοῦ, ἀλλ᾿ ἐπήλπισεν ἐπὶ τὸ πλῆθος τοῦ πλούτου αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐνεδυναμώθη ἐπὶ τῇ ματαιότητι αὐτοῦ.
9Behold the man that made not God his helper: But trusted in the abundance of his riches: and prevailed in his vanity.
10ἐγὼ δὲ ὡσεὶ ἐλαία κατάκαρπος ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ· ἤλπισα ἐπὶ τὸ ἔλεος τοῦ Θεοῦ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος.
10But 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.
11ἐξομολογήσομαί σοι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, ὅτι ἐποίησας, καὶ ὑπομενῶ τὸ ὄνομά σου, ὅτι χρηστὸν ἐναντίον τῶν ὁσίων σου.
11I 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.
