NASB Bible

Psalms 52

For the choir director. A  aMaskil of David,  bwhen Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul and said to him, "David has come to the house of Ahimelech."

1

Why do you  aboast in evil, O mighty man? The  blovingkindness of God endures all day long.

2

Your tongue devises  adestruction, Like a  bsharp razor,  cO worker of deceit.

3

You  alove evil more than good,  bFalsehood more than speaking what is right.  1Selah.

4

You love all words that devour, O  adeceitful tongue.

5

 1But God will break you down forever; He will snatch you up and  atear you away from your tent, And  buproot you from the  cland of the living. Selah.

6

The righteous will  asee and fear, And will  blaugh at him, saying,

7

"Behold, the man who would not make God his refuge, But  atrusted in the abundance of his riches And  bwas strong in  1his evil desire."

8

But as for me, I am like a  agreen olive tree in the house of God; I  btrust in the lovingkindness of God forever and ever.

9

I will  agive You thanks forever, because You have done it, And I will wait on Your name,  bfor it is good, in the presence of Your godly ones.
