Psalms 52

Psalm 52

God Judges the Proud

For the choir director. A Maskil of David. When Doeg the Edomite went and reported to Saul, telling him, “David went to Ahimelech’s house.”#1Sm 22:9

1Why boast about evil, you hero!#Ps 94:4

God’s faithful love is constant.#Ps 40:10–11; 138:2

2Like a sharpened razor,

your tongue devises destruction,

working treachery.#Ps 5:9; 50:19; 59:7

3You love evil instead of good,

lying instead of speaking truthfully.#Ps 58:3; Jr 9:4–5Selah

4You love any words that destroy,

you treacherous tongue!#Ps 10:7; Pr 17:4

5This is why God will bring you down forever.

He will take you, ripping you out of your tent;

he will uproot you from the land of the living.#Ps 27:13; Pr 2:22Selah

6The righteous will see and fear,

and they will derisively say about that hero,#52:6 Lit about him#Jb 22:19–20; Ps 37:34

7“Here is the man

who would not make God his refuge,

but trusted in the abundance of his riches,

taking refuge in his destructive behavior.”#Ps 10:6; 49:6; Pr 11:28

8But I am like a flourishing olive tree

in the house of God;#Ps 1:3; 128:3; Jr 11:16

I trust in God’s faithful love forever and ever.#Ps 143:8

9I will praise you forever for what you have done.

In the presence of your faithful people,

I will put my hope in your name, for it is good.#Ps 30:12; 54:6
