Psalms Chapter 52
|
||
1 For the Chief Musician. A contemplation by David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, “David has come to Ahimelech’s house.” Why do you boast of mischief, mighty man? God’s loving kindness endures continually.
|
||
2 Your tongue plots destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
|
||
3 You love evil more than good, lying rather than speaking the truth. Selah.
|
||
4 You love all devouring words, you deceitful tongue.
|
||
5 God will likewise destroy you forever. He will take you up, and pluck you out of your tent, and root you out of the land of the living. Selah.
|
||
6 The righteous also will see it, and fear, and laugh at him, saying,
|
||
7 “Behold, this is the man who didn’t make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.”
|
||
8 But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in God’s house. I trust in God’s loving kindness forever and ever.
|
||
9 I will give you thanks forever, because you have done it. I will hope in your name, for it is good, in the presence of your saints. |
