Psalms 52

Psalm 52^a

For the director of music. A maskilb of David. When Doeg the Edomite had gone to Saul and told him: “David has gone to the house of Ahimelek.”

Why do you boast of evil, you mighty hero?
Why do you boast all day long,
you who are a disgrace in the eyes of God?

The Steadfast Love of God Endures

To the choirmaster. A Maskila of David, when Doeg, the Edomite, came and told Saul, “David has come to the house of Ahimelech.”

Why do you boast of evil, O mighty man?
The steadfast love of God endures all the day.

You who practice deceit,
your tongue plots destruction;
it is like a sharpened razor.

Your tongue plots destruction,
like a sharp razor, you worker of deceit.

You love evil rather than good,
falsehood rather than speaking the truth.c

You love evil more than good,
and lying more than speaking what is right. Selah

You love every harmful word,
you deceitful tongue!

You love all words that devour,
O deceitful tongue.

Surely God will bring you down to everlasting ruin:
He will snatch you up and pluck you from your tent;
he will uproot you from the land of the living.

But God will break you down forever;
he will snatch and tear you from your tent;
he will uproot you from the land of the living. Selah

The righteous will see and fear;
they will laugh at you, saying,

The righteous shall see and fear,
and shall laugh at him, saying,

“Here now is the man
who did not make God his stronghold
but trusted in his great wealth
and grew strong by destroying others!”

“See the man who would not make
God his refuge,
but trusted in the abundance of his riches
and sought refuge in his own destruction!”b

But I am like an olive tree
flourishing in the house of God;
I trust in God’s unfailing love
for ever and ever.

But I am like a green olive tree
in the house of God.
I trust in the steadfast love of God
forever and ever.

For what you have done I will always praise you
in the presence of your faithful people.
And I will hope in your name,
for your name is good.

I will thank you forever,
because you have done it.
I will wait for your name, for it is good,
in the presence of the godly.
