Psa.|52:Title|-|To the choir director. A |*|Maschil |a|of David, when |b|Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul and said to him, David has come to the house of Ahimelech
Psa.|52:1|-||1|Why do you boast in evil, O mighty one?God’s lovingkindness endures continually.
Psa.|52:2|-|Your tongue devises destruction;It is like a sharpened razor, O worker of deceit.
Psa.|52:3|-|You have loved evil rather than good,Falsehood rather than speaking righteousness. Selah
Psa.|52:4|-|You have loved all the devouring words,O deceitful tongue.
Psa.|52:5|-|God will likewise |1|break you down forever;He will take you and pluck you up from your tent,
And uproot you from the land of the living. Selah
Psa.|52:6|-|And the righteous will see it and fear,And they will laugh at him, saying,
Psa.|52:7|-|Behold, this is that mighty manWho did not make God his |1|strength,
But |a|trusted in the multitude of his richesAnd strengthened himself in his desire.
Psa.|52:8|-|But I, like a flourishing |a|olive treeIn the house of God,
Trust in God’s lovingkindnessForever and ever.
Psa.|52:9|-|I will give You thanks forever,For You have acted;
And I will hope in Your name in the presence of Your faithful ones,For it is good.
