52:1  For the director. A maskil of David.
52:2  When Doeg the Edomite went and told Saul, “David has gone to the house of Ahimelech.”
52:3  Why do you boast of your evil deeds, you champion of malice? All day long
52:4  you plot harm; your tongue is like a sharpened razor, you master of deceit.
52:5  You love evil rather than good, and lies rather than truthful speech. Selah
52:6  You wallow in destructive talk, you tongue of deceit.
52:7  This is the reason why God will crush you and destroy you once and for all. He will snatch you from your tent and uproot you from the land of the living. Selah
52:8  The righteous will see and be afraid; they will mock him:
52:9  “This is the man who refused to accept God as his refuge. Rather, he placed his trust in his abundant riches and gathered strength by his crimes.”
