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.
