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?

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?

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

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

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

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

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

You love every harmful word,
you 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

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 will see it and be amazed.
They will laugh and say,

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

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

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

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.
