Psalms 52

1 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.

For the choirmaster. A Maskil of David. After Doeg the Edomite went to Saul and told him, “David has gone to the house of Ahimelech.” Why do you boast of evil, O mighty man? The loving devotion of God endures all day long.

2 Destruction it plots tongue your like a razor sharpened O doer of deceit.

Your tongue devises destruction like a sharpened razor, O worker of deceit.

3 You love evil more than good falsehood - more than speaking righteousness (Selah)

You love evil more than good, falsehood more than speaking truth.

4 You love all words of swallowing a tongue of deceit.

You love every word that devours, O deceitful tongue.

5 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)

Surely God will bring you down to everlasting ruin; He will snatch you up and tear you away from your tent; He will uproot you from the land of the living.

6 So they may see righteous [people] so they may fear and on him they will laugh.

The righteous will see and fear; they will mock the evildoer, saying,

7 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.

“Look at the man who did not make God his refuge, but trusted in the abundance of his wealth and strengthened himself by destruction.”

8 And I - [am] like an olive tree luxuriant in [the] house of God I trust in [the] covenant loyalty of God forever and ever.

But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in the loving devotion of God forever and ever.

9 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.

I will praise You forever, because You have done it. I will wait on Your name— for it is good— in the presence of Your saints.
