Psalms 52

For the choir director: A psalma of David, regarding the time Doeg the Edomite said to Saul, “David has gone to see Ahimelech.”

Why do you boast about your crimes, great warrior?
Don’t you realize God’s justice continues forever?

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.

All day long you plot destruction.
Your tongue cuts like a sharp razor;
you’re an expert at telling lies.

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

You love evil more than good
and lies more than truth.
Interlude

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

You love to destroy others with your words,
you liar!

You love all words that devour,
O deceitful tongue.

But God will strike you down once and for all.
He will pull you from your home
and uproot you from the land of the living.
Interlude

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 it and be amazed.
They will laugh and say,

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

“Look what happens to mighty warriors
who do not trust in God.
They trust their wealth instead
and grow more and more bold in their wickedness.”

“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, thriving in the house of God.
I will always trust in God’s unfailing love.

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

I will praise you forever, O God,
for what you have done.
I will trust in your good name
in the presence of your faithful people.

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.
