Psalms 52
52
For the choir director: A psalm#52:TITLE Hebrew maskil. This may be a literary or musical term. of David, regarding the time Doeg the Edomite said to Saul, “David has gone to see Ahimelech.”
1Why do you boast about your crimes, great warrior?
Don’t you realize God’s justice continues forever?
2All day long you plot destruction.
Your tongue cuts like a sharp razor;
you’re an expert at telling lies.
3You love evil more than good
and lies more than truth. Interlude
4You love to destroy others with your words,
you liar!
5But God will strike you down once and for all.
He will pull you from your home
and uproot you from the land of the living. Interlude
6The righteous will see it and be amazed.
They will laugh and say,
7“Look what happens to mighty warriors
who do not trust in God.
They trust their wealth instead
and grow more and more bold in their wickedness.”
8But I am like an olive tree, thriving in the house of God.
I will always trust in God’s unfailing love.
9I will praise you forever, O God,
for what you have done.
I will trust in your good name
in the presence of your faithful people.
