←Prev   Psalms 52 as rendered by/in  Next→ 



52:1  For the choir director. A Davidic Maskil. When Doeg the Edomite went and reported to Saul, telling him, "David went to Ahimelech's house." Why brag about evil, you hero! God's faithful love is constant.
52:2  Like a sharpened razor, your tongue devises destruction, working treachery.
52:3  You love evil instead of good, lying instead of speaking truthfully. Selah
52:4  You love any words that destroy, you treacherous tongue!
52:5  This is why God will bring you down forever. He will take you, ripping you out of your tent; He will uproot you from the land of the living. Selah
52:6  The righteous will look on with awe and will ridicule him:"
52:7  Here is the man who would not make God his refuge, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, taking refuge in his destructive behavior."
52:8  But I am like a flourishing olive tree in the house of God; I trust in God's faithful love forever and ever.
52:9  I will praise You forever for what You have done. In the presence of Your faithful people, I will put my hope in Your name, for it is good.
