Psalms 52

Futility of boastful wickedness.

For the Chief Musician. Maschil of David; when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David is come to the house of Ahimelech.

¹Why do you boast of mischief, mighty man? God`s lovingkindness endures continually.

²Your tongue plots destruction, Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

³You love evil more than good, Lying rather than speaking the truth. Selah.

⁴You love all devouring words, You deceitful tongue.

⁵God will likewise destroy you forever. He will take you up, and pluck you out of your tent, And root you out of the land of the living. Selah.

⁶The righteous also will see it, and fear, And laugh at him, saying,

⁷"Behold, this is the man who didn`t make God his strength, But trusted in the abundance of his riches, And strengthened himself in his wickedness."

⁸But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in God`s house. I trust in God`s lovingkindness forever and ever.

⁹I will give you thanks forever, because you have done it. I will hope in your name, for it is good, In the presence of your saints.
