Psalms 51:1-7 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

1. Unto the end, understanding for David,

2. when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul David went to the house of Achimelech.

3. Why dost thou glory in malice, thou that art mighty in iniquity?

4. All the day long thy tongue hath devised injustice: as a sharp razor, thou hast wrought deceit.

5. Thou hast loved malice more than goodness: and iniquity rather than to speak righteousness.

6. Thou hast loved all the words of ruin, O deceitful tongue.

7. Therefore 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.
