52Psalms

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."  
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. Selah

 
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. Selah

 
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 thee for ever, because thou hast done it.
I will proclaim thy name, for it is good, in the presence of the godly.
