Psalms Chapter 52

1aTo the choirmaster.↑

An Instructive Psalm of David, 1bwhen Doeg the Edomite came and reported to Saul and said to him, “David has gone to Ahimelech's house.”

1cHow you boast in wickedness, O mighty man,

Whilst the kindness of God is present all day long.

2Your tongue devises calamitous things

– As a sharpened razor perpetrating deceit.

3You have loved evil more than good,

And falsehood more than speaking righteousness.

Selah.

4You have loved all kinds of predatory words,

You deceitful tongue.

5God for his part will tear you down for perpetuity;

He will take hold of you

And sweep you away from your tent

And root you out of the land of the living.

Selah.

6And the righteous will look on and fear

And laugh at him.

7Behold the man who does not make God his stronghold,

But trusts in the abundance of his wealth

And is strong in his calamitous way!

8But I am like a flourishing olive tree in the house of God;

I have trusted in the kindness of God

Age-abidingly and in perpetuity.

9I will praise you age-abidingly,

For you have taken action,

And I will put hope in your name,

For you are good towards those under your grace.
