< Psalms 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.
To the choirmaster a poem of David. When came - Doeg the Edomite and he told to Saul and he said to him he has gone David to [the] house of Ahimelech. Why? do you boast in evil O mighty [man] [the] covenant loyalty of God [is] all the day.
2 Your tongue plots destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
Destruction it plots tongue your like a razor sharpened O doer of deceit.
3 You love evil more than good, lying rather than speaking the truth. (Selah)
You love evil more than good falsehood - more than speaking righteousness (Selah)
4 You love all devouring words, you deceitful tongue.
You love all words of swallowing a tongue of deceit.
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)
Also God he will tear down you to perpetuity he will snatch up you and he will tear away you from a tent and he will root up you from [the] land of living [people] (Selah)
6 The righteous also will see it, and fear, and laugh at him, saying,
So they may see righteous [people] so they may fear and on him they will laugh.
7 “Behold, this is the man who did not make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.”
There! the man [who] not he made God refuge his and he trusted in [the] greatness of rich[es] his he was strong in destruction his.
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.
And I - [am] like an olive tree luxuriant in [the] house of God I trust in [the] covenant loyalty of God 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.
I will give thanks to you for ever for you have acted and I may wait for name your for [it is] good before faithful [people] your.
