Psa52 - HOLY BIBLE

Psalms – Chapter 52

¹For the leader. A maskil of David,

²when Doeg the Edomite entered and reported to Saul, saying to him: “David has entered the house of Ahimelech.”

³Why do you glory in what is evil, you who are mighty by the mercy of God?

All day long

⁴you are thinking up intrigues;

your tongue is like a sharpened razor,

you worker of deceit.

⁵You love evil more than good,

lying rather than saying what is right.

Selah

⁶You love all the words that create confusion,

you deceitful tongue.

⁷God 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

⁸The righteous will see and they will fear;

but they will laugh at him:

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.”

¹⁰But I, like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God,

I trust in God’s mercy forever and ever.

¹¹I will thank you forever

for what you have done.

I will put my hope in your name—for it is good,

—in the presence of those devoted to you.
