Psalm 52

Futility of Boastful Wickedness.

For the music director. A Maskil of David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul and said to him, “David has come to the house of Ahimelech.”

1Why do you boast in evil, you mighty man?
The faithfulness of God endures all day long.
2Your tongue devises destruction,
Like a sharp razor, you worker of deceit.
3You love evil more than good,
Lies more than speaking what is right.
Selah
4You love all words that devour,
You deceitful tongue.
5But God will break you down forever;
He will snatch you up and tear you away from your tent,
And uproot you from the land of the living.
Selah
