Ps 52
0 Psalm 52 For the Chief Musician. Maschil of David; when Doeg the Edomite came and
told Saul, and said to him, David is come to the house of Abimelech.
1
Why boast you yourself in mischief, O mighty man? The lovingkindness of God [endures]
continually.
2
Your tongue devises very wickedness, Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
3
You love evil more than good, And lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah
4
You love all devouring words, you deceitful tongue.
5
God will likewise destroy you for ever; He will take you up, and pluck you out of
your tent, And root you out of the land of the living. Selah
6
The righteous also shall see [it], and fear, And shall laugh at him, [saying],
7
Behold, this is the man that made not God his strength, But trusted in the abundance
of his riches, And strengthened himself in his wickedness.
8
But as for me, I am like a green olive-tree in the house of God: I trust in
the lovingkindness of God for ever and ever.
9
I will give you thanks for ever, because you have done it; And I will hope in
your name, for it is good, in the presence of your saints.
