Psalms - Chapter 52 | American Standard Version

  • 1. For the Chief Musician. Maschil of David; when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David is come to the house of Abimelech. Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? The lovingkindness of God {cf15i endureth} continually.
  • 2. Thy tongue deviseth very wickedness, Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
  • 3. Thou lovest evil more than good, And lying rather than to speak righteousness. {cf15i Selah.}
  • 4. Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.
  • 5. God will likewise destroy thee for ever; He will take thee up, and pluck thee out of thy tent, And root thee out of the land of the living. {cf15i Selah.}
  • 6. The righteous also shall see {cf15i it}, and fear, And shall laugh at him, {cf15i saying},
  • 7. Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength, But trusted in the abundance of his riches, And strengthened himself in his wickedness.
  • 8. But as for me, I am like a green olive-tree in the house of God: I trust in the lovingkindness of God for ever and ever.
  • 9. I will give thee thanks for ever, because thou hast done it; And I will hope in thy name, for it is good, in the presence of thy saints.
