PSALM 52

I Trust in the Lovingkindness of God

For the choir director. A [fn]Maskil of David. [fn]When Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul and said to him, “David has come to the house of Ahimelech.”

Why do you boast in evil, O mighty man?

The lovingkindness of God endures all day long.

Your tongue devises destruction,

Like a sharp razor, O worker of deceit.

You love evil more than good,

Falsehood more than speaking what is right. [fn]Selah.

You love all words that devour,

O deceitful tongue.

[fn]But God will break you down forever;

He will snatch you up and tear you away from your tent,

And uproot you from the land of the living, Selah.

So that the righteous will see and fear,

And will laugh at him, saying,

“Behold, the man who would not set God as his strength,

But trusted in the abundance of his riches

And was strong in his destruction.”

But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in the house of God;

I trust in the lovingkindness of God forever and ever.

I will give You thanks forever, because You have done it,

And I will hope on Your name, for it is good, in the presence of Your holy ones.
