| 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." | |||
| 1 | Why do you boast, O mighty man, of mischief done against the godly? All the day you are plotting destruction. | ||
| 2 | Your tongue is like a sharp razor, you worker of treachery. | ||
| 3 | You love evil more than good, and lying more than speaking the truth. | ||
| 4 | You love all words that devour, O deceitful tongue. | ||
| 5 | 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. | ||
| 6 | The righteous shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him, saying, | ||
| 7 | "See the man who would not make God his refuge, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and sought refuge in his wealth!" | ||
| 8 | 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. | ||
| 9 | I will thank you for ever, because you have done it. I will proclaim your name, for it is good, in the presence of the godly. | ||
