52:1 For the director of music. A maskil of David when Doeg, who was from Edom, had gone to Saul. Doeg had told Saul, “David has gone to the house of Ahimelek.” You think you are such a big, strong man! Why do you brag about the evil things you’ve done? You are a dishonor to God all the time.
52:2 You plan ways to destroy others. Your tongue is like a blade that has a sharp edge. You are always telling lies.
52:3 You love evil instead of good. You would rather lie than tell the truth.
52:4 You love to harm others with your words, you liar!
52:5 So God will destroy you forever. He will grab you and pluck you from your tent. He will remove you from this life.
52:6 Those who do what is right will see it and learn a lesson from it. They will laugh at you and say,
52:7 “Just look at this fellow! He didn’t depend on God for his safety. He put his trust in all his wealth. He grew strong by destroying others!”
52:8 But I am like a healthy olive tree. My roots are deep in the house of God. I trust in your faithful love for ever and ever.
52:9 I will praise you forever for what you have done. I will praise you when I’m with your faithful people. I will put my hope in you because you are good.
