52:1  For the choir 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." Why do you boast in evil, O mighty man? The lovingkindness of God endures all day long.
52:2  Your tongue devises destruction, Like a sharp razor, O worker of deceit.
52:3  You love evil more than good, Falsehood more than speaking what is right. Selah.
52:4  You love all words that devour, O deceitful tongue.
52:5  But 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.
52:6  The righteous will see and fear, And will laugh at him, saying,
52:7  "Behold, the man who would not make God his refuge, But trusted in the abundance of his riches And was strong in his evil desire."
52:8  But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in the lovingkindness of God forever and ever.
52:9  I will give You thanks forever, because You have done it, And I will wait on Your name, for it is good, in the presence of Your godly ones.
