52:1 For the Music Director. A Contemplative Maskil. A Psalm of David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, “David has come to the house of Ahimelek.” Why do you boast in evil, O mighty man? The goodness of God endures continually.
52:2 Your tongue devises calamities, like a sharp razor, you worker of treachery.
52:3 You love evil more than good, and lying rather than speaking righteousness. Selah
52:4 You love all devouring words, O you deceitful tongue.
52:5 God will likewise break you down forever; He will snatch you away and pluck you from your home, and uproot you from the land of the living. Selah
52:6 The righteous also will see and fear, and will laugh in contempt,
52:7 “See, this is the man who did not make God his refuge, but trusted in the abundance of riches, and grew strong in his own wickedness.”
52:8 But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever.
52:9 I will give thanks to You forever, because You have acted; and I will wait on Your name, for it is good before Your saints.
