Psalms 52 (NIV11)
undefined For the director of music. A maskil of David. When Doeg the Edomite had gone to Saul and told him: “David has gone to the house of Ahimelek.” 1 Why do you boast of evil, you mighty hero?Why do you boast all day long,you who are a disgrace in the eyes of God? 2 You who practice deceit,your tongue plots destruction;it is like a sharpened razor. 3 You love evil rather than good,falsehood rather than speaking the truth. 4 You love every harmful word,you deceitful tongue! 5 Surely God will bring you down to everlasting ruin:He will snatch you up and pluck you from your tent;he will uproot you from the land of the living. 6 The righteous will see and fear;they will laugh at you, saying, 7 “Here now is the manwho did not make God his strongholdbut trusted in his great wealthand grew strong by destroying others!” 8 But I am like an olive treeflourishing in the house of God;I trust in God’s unfailing lovefor ever and ever. 9 For what you have done I will always praise youin the presence of your faithful people.And I will hope in your name,for your name is good.
