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 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.

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

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

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

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

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

You love all devouring words,
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

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

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

The righteous also 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.”

“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.”

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 mercy 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 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.
