JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1In finem, pro Maëleth intelligentiæ David. [Dixit insipiens in corde suo: Non est Deus.
1(52-1) For the Leader. Maschil of David; (52-2) when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him: 'David is come to the house of Ahimelech.' (52-3) Why boastest thou thyself of evil, O mighty man? The mercy of God endureth continually.
2Corrupti sunt, et abominabiles facti sunt in iniquitatibus; non est qui faciat bonum.
2(52-4) Thy tongue deviseth destruction; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
3Deus de cælo prospexit super filios hominum, ut videat si est intelligens, aut requirens Deum.
3(52-5) Thou lovest evil more than good; falsehood rather than speaking righteousness. Selah
4Omnes declinaverunt; simul inutiles facti sunt: non est qui faciat bonum, non est usque ad unum.
4(52-6) Thou lovest all devouring words, the deceitful tongue.
5Nonne scient omnes qui operantur iniquitatem, qui devorant plebem meam ut cibum panis?
5(52-7) God will likewise break thee for ever, He will take thee up, and pluck thee out of thy tent, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah
6Deum non invocaverunt; illic trepidaverunt timore, ubi non erat timor. Quoniam Deus dissipavit ossa eorum qui hominibus placent: confusi sunt, quoniam Deus sprevit eos.
6(52-8) The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:
7Quis dabit ex Sion salutare Israël? cum converterit Deus captivitatem plebis suæ, exsultabit Jacob, et lætabitur Israël.]
7(52-9) 'Lo, this is the man that made not God his stronghold; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.'
