Mezmurlar 51

¹Sona doğru; Davut'un bilgelik ezgisi.

²Edomlu Doek gelip Saul'a haber verdiğinde ve ona, "Davut, Abimelek'in evine girdi" dediğinde.

³Ey güçlü adam, neden kötülükle böbürlenirsin, bütün gün yasa tanımazlık içinde?

⁴Dilin haksızlık tasarladı; bilenmiş bir ustura gibi hileler gerçekleştirdin.

⁵Kötülüğü iyilikten daha çok sevdin, haksızlığı doğruluk konuşmaktan daha çok. (Selah)

⁶Yıkım getiren tüm sözleri sevdin, o hilekar dili de.

⁷Bu yüzden Tanrı seni sonsuza dek yıksın; seni söküp çadırından çıkarsın ve kökünü yaşayanlar diyarından kazısın. (Selah)

⁸Doğrular bunu görüp korkacak, onunla alay ederek şöyle diyecekler:

⁹"İşte Tanrı'yı kendine sığınak yapmayan, aksine zenginliğinin bolluğuna güvenen ve kendi boşluğuna dayanarak güçlenen adam!"

¹⁰Bense Tanrı'nın evinde bol meyveli bir zeytin ağacı gibiyim; Tanrı'nın merhametine sonsuza dek ve sonsuzlar sonsuzunca güvendim.

¹¹Sana sonsuza dek şükredeceğim, çünkü bunu sen yaptın; senin adını umutla bekleyeceğim, çünkü o senin sadık kullarının huzurunda iyidir.

¹Εἰς τὸ τέλος· συνέσεως τῷ Δαυΐδ·

²ἐν τῷ ἐλθεῖν Δωὴκ τὸν ᾿Ιδουμαῖον καὶ ἀναγγεῖλαι τῷ Σαοὺλ καὶ εἰπεῖν αὐτῷ· ἦλθε Δαυΐδ εἰς τὸν οἶκον ᾿Αβιμέλεχ. -

³ΤΙ ΕΓΚΑΥΧᾼ ἐν κακίᾳ, ὁ δυνατός, ἀνομίαν ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν;

⁴ἀδικίαν ἐλογίσατο ἡ γλῶσσά σου· ὡσεὶ ξυρὸν ἠκονημένον ἐποίησας δόλον.

⁵ἠγάπησας κακίαν ὑπὲρ ἀγαθωσύνην, ἀδικίαν ὑπὲρ τὸ λαλῆσαι δικαιοσύνην. (διάψαλμα).

⁶ἠγάπησας πάντα τὰ ῥήματα καταποντισμοῦ, γλῶσσαν δολίαν.

⁷διὰ τοῦτο ὁ Θεὸς καθέλοι σε εἰς τέλος· ἐκτίλαι σε καὶ μεταναστεύσαι σε ἀπὸ σκηνώματός σου καὶ τὸ ρίζωμά σου ἐκ γῆς ζώντων. (διάψαλμα).

⁸ὄψονται δίκαιοι καὶ φοβηθήσονται καὶ ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν γελάσονται καὶ ἐροῦσιν·

⁹ἰδοὺ ἄνθρωπος, ὃς οὐκ ἔθετο τὸν Θεὸν βοηθὸν αὐτοῦ, ἀλλ᾿ ἐπήλπισεν ἐπὶ τὸ πλῆθος τοῦ πλούτου αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐνεδυναμώθη ἐπὶ τῇ ματαιότητι αὐτοῦ.

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.

¹¹ἐξομολογήσομαί σοι εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, ὅτι ἐποίησας, καὶ ὑπομενῶ τὸ ὄνομά σου, ὅτι χρηστὸν ἐναντίον τῶν ὁσίων σου.

¹[For the end, [a Psalm] of instruction by David,

²when Doec the Idumean came and told Saul, and said to him, David is gone to the house of Abimelech.]

³Why dost thou, O mighty man, boast of iniquity in [thy] mischief? All the day

⁴thy tongue has devised unrighteousness; like a sharpened razor thou hast wrought deceit.

⁵Thou hast loved wickedness more than goodness; unrighteousness better than to speak righteousness. Pause.

⁶Thou hast loved all words of destruction, [and] a deceitful tongue.

⁷Therefore may God destroy thee for ever, may he pluck thee up and utterly remove thee from [thy] dwelling, and thy root from the land of the living. Pause.

⁸And the righteous shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him, and say,

⁹Behold the man who made not God his help; but trusted in the abundance of his wealth, and strengthened himself in his vanity.

¹⁰But I am as a fruitful olive in the house of God: I have trusted in the mercy of God for ever, even for evermore.

¹¹I will give thanks to thee for ever, for thou hast done [it]: and I will wait on thy name; for [it is] good before the saints.
