Псалми 51

1Unto the end, understanding for David, 2When Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul David went to the house of Achimelech. [1 Kings 22] 3Why dost thou glory in malice, thou that art mighty in iniquity? 4All the day long thy tongue hath devised injustice: as a sharp razor, thou hast wrought deceit. 5Thou hast loved malice more than goodness: and iniquity rather than to speak righteousness. 6Thou hast loved all the words of ruin, O deceitful tongue. 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. 8The just shall see and fear, and shall laugh at him, and say: 9Behold the man that made not God his helper: But trusted in the abundance of his riches: and prevailed in his vanity. 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.
