[To the choirmaster.] | God's Judgement & Grace. Psalm 52(v51) | ||
A Maskil of David, when Doeg, the Edomite, came and told Saul, "David has come to the house of Ahimelech." | |||
Why do you boast, O mighty man, of mischief done against the godly? All the day you are plotting destruction. | |||
Your tongue is like a sharp razor, you worker of treachery. | |||
You love evil more than good, and lying more than speaking the truth. [Selah] | |||
You love all words that devour, O deceitful tongue. | |||
But God will break you down for ever; he will snatch and tear you from your tent; he will uproot you from the land of the living. [Selah] | |||
The righteous shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him, saying, | |||
"See the man who would not make God his refuge, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and sought refuge in his wealth!" | |||
But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God. I trust in the steadfast love of God for ever and ever. | |||
I will thank thee for ever, because thou hast done it. I will proclaim thy name, for it is good, in the presence of the godly. | |||
