Psalms 52

LITV(i) 1 To the chief musician. A Contemplation. A Psalm of David when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said to him, David has come to the house of Ahimelech. Why do you boast yourself in evil, O hero? The mercy of God is all the day. 2 Like a sharp razor, your tongue devises ruin, working deceit. 3 You love evil more than good; lying more than to speak righteousness. Selah. 4 You love all devouring words, O deceitful tongue! 5 God will likewise break you forever; He shall take you away, even pluck you from your tent, and uproot you out of the land of the living. Selah. 6 And the righteous shall see and fear; yea, they will laugh over him, saying, 7 Behold, the man who did not make God his strength; but he trusted in his many riches; he was strong in his destruction. 8 But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever. 9 I will thank You forever, because You have done it; and I will hope in Your name, for it is good before Your saints.
