←Prev   Psalms 52 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


52:1  For the leader. A maskil of David,
52:2  when Doeg the Edomite entered and reported to Saul, saying to him: “David has entered the house of Ahimelech.”
52:3  Why do you glory in what is evil, you who are mighty by the mercy of God? All day long
52:4  you are thinking up intrigues; your tongue is like a sharpened razor, you worker of deceit.
52:5  You love evil more than good, lying rather than saying what is right. Selah
52:6  You love all the words that create confusion, you deceitful tongue.
52:7  God too will strike you down forever, he will lay hold of you and pluck you from your tent, uproot you from the land of the living. Selah
52:8  The righteous will see and they will fear; but they will laugh at him:
52:9  “Behold the man! He did not take God as his refuge, but he trusted in the abundance of his wealth, and grew powerful through his wickedness.”
