Psalmus 51 (52)
Language: Latin 
1  [In finem. Intellectus David,
2  cum venit Doëg Idumæus, et nuntiavit Sauli:
   Venit David in domum Achimelech.]
3  Quid gloriaris in malitia,
   qui potens es in iniquitate?
4  Tota die injustitiam cogitavit lingua tua;
   sicut novacula acuta fecisti dolum.
5  Dilexisti malitiam super benignitatem;
   iniquitatem magis quam loqui æquitatem.
6  Dilexisti omnia verba præcipitationis;
   lingua dolosa.
7  Propterea Deus destruet te in finem;
   evellet te, et emigrabit te de tabernaculo tuo,
   et radicem tuam de terra viventium.
8  Videbunt justi, et timebunt;
   et super eum ridebunt, et dicent:
9  Ecce homo qui non posuit Deum adjutorem suum;
   sed speravit in multitudine divitiarum suarum,
   et prævaluit in vanitate sua.
10 Ego autem, sicut oliva fructifera in domo Dei;
   speravi in misericordia Dei, in æternum et in sæculum sæculi.
11 Confitebor tibi in sæculum, quia fecisti;
   et exspectabo nomen tuum,
   quoniam bonum est in conspectu sanctorum tuorum.
