Psalms - Chapter 52 | New International Version

  • 1. {For the director of music. A maskil of David. When Doeg the Edomite had gone to Saul and told him: "David has gone to the house of Ahimelech."} Why do you boast of evil, you mighty man? Why do you boast all day long, you who are a disgrace in the eyes of God?
  • 2. Your tongue plots destruction; it is like a sharpened razor, you who practice deceit.
  • 3. You love evil rather than good, falsehood rather than speaking the truth. Selah
  • 4. You love every harmful word, O you deceitful tongue!
  • 5. Surely God will bring you down to everlasting ruin: He will snatch you up and tear you from your tent; he will uproot you from the land of the living. Selah
  • 6. The righteous will see and fear; they will laugh at him, saying,
  • 7. Here now is the man who did not make God his stronghold but trusted in his great wealth and grew strong by destroying others!
  • 8. But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in God's unfailing love for ever and ever.
  • 9. I will praise you forever for what you have done; in your name I will hope, for your name is good. I will praise you in the presence of your saints.
