Complete Jewish Bible

Psalms 52

1 (0) For the leader. A maskil of David, when Do'eg from Edom came and told Sha'ul, "David has arrived at the house of Achimelekh":

3 (1) Why do you boast of your evil, you tyrant,
when God's mercy is present every day?
4 (2) Your tongue, as sharp as a razor,
plots destruction and works deception.

5 (3) You love evil more than good,
lies rather than speaking uprightly. (Selah)
6 (4) You love all words that eat people up,
you deceitful tongue!

7 (5) This is why God will strike you down,
seize you, pluck you from your tent
and uproot you from the land of the living. (Selah)

8 (6) The righteous will see and be awestruck;
they will jeer at him, saying,
9 (7) "This fellow would not make God his refuge,
but trusted in his own great wealth,
relying on his evil plots."

10 (8) But I am like a leafy olive tree
in the house of God;
I put my trust in the grace of God
forever and ever.

11 (9) I will praise you forever for what you have done,
and I will put my hope in your name;
for this is what is good
in the presence of your faithful.
