Psalms 52

The End of the Wicked and the Peace of the Godly

To the Chief Musician. A [a]Contemplation of David when Doeg the Edomite went and told Saul, and said to him, “David has gone to the house of Ahimelech.”

Why do you boast in evil, O mighty man?
The goodness of God endures continually.

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?

Your tongue devises destruction,
Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

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

You love evil more than good,
Lying rather than speaking righteousness. Selah

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

You love all devouring words,
You deceitful tongue.

You love every harmful word,
you deceitful tongue!

God shall likewise destroy you forever;
He shall take you away, and pluck you out of your dwelling place,
And uproot you from the land of the living. Selah

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.

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

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

“Here is the man who did not make God his strength,
But trusted in the abundance of his riches,
And strengthened himself in his [b]wickedness.”

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

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

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

I will praise You forever,
Because You have done it;
And in the presence of Your saints
I will wait on Your name, for it [c]is good.

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.
