Psalms 52

PSALM 52

God Demolishes the Deceitful

To the director; for contemplation; to David, in the coming of Doeg the Edomite, and announcing to Saul, and telling to him that David went to the house of Ahimelech.

1 Why do you boast in evil, O mighty man, with lawlessness the entire day? 2 [³injustice ²considers ¹Your tongue]; as [²a razor ¹sharpening] you did treachery. 3 You loved evil over goodness; injustice over speaking righteousness. 4 You loved all the [²words ¹drowning], [²tongue ¹O deceitful]. 5 On account of this, God shall demolish you unto the end, to pluck you out, and to migrate you from your tent, and your root from out of the land of the living. 6 [²shall see ¹The just] and shall fear, and [²at ³him ¹shall laugh]. And they shall say, 7 Behold, the man who did not make God his helper, but raised hope upon the multitude of his riches, and was strengthened by his folly. 8 But I am as [²olive tree ¹a fruitful] in the house of God. I hoped upon the mercy of God into the eon, and into the eon of the eon. 9 I will make acknowledgment to you into the eon, for you acted; and I will wait on your name, for you are gracious before your sacred ones.
