PSALM 52
To the chief Musician, Maschil, A
Psalm of David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto
him, David is come to the house of Ahimelech.
1 Why
boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth
continually. 2 Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor,
working deceitfully. 3 Thou lovest evil more than good; and
lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah. 4 Thou lovest all
devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue. 5 God shall
likewise destroya thee for ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck
thee out of thy dwelling place, and root thee out of the land of the
living. Selah.
6The
righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him: 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 wickednessb.
8 But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I
trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever. 9 I will praise thee
for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name; for it
is good before thy saints.
