Psalms

52

Legacy Standard Bible

1 For the choir director. A Maskil of David. 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.

2 Like a sharp razor, O worker of deceit.

3 Falsehood more than speaking what is right. Selah.

4 O deceitful tongue.

5 He will snatch you up and tear you away from your tent, And uproot you from the land of the living, Selah.

6 And will laugh at him, saying,

7 But trusted in the abundance of his riches And was strong in his destruction.”

8 I trust in the lovingkindness of God forever and ever.

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