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 So that the righteous will see and fear, And will laugh at him, saying,
52:7 “Behold, the man who would not set God as his strength, But trusted in the abundance of his riches And was strong in his destruction.”
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 hope on Your name, for it is good, in the presence of Your holy ones.
