< 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.
Unto the end, understanding for David, When Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul David went to the house of Achimelech. Why dost thou glory in malice, thou that art mighty in iniquity?
2 Destruction it plots tongue your like a razor sharpened O doer of deceit.
All the day long thy tongue hath devised injustice: as a sharp razor, thou hast wrought deceit.
3 You love evil more than good falsehood - more than speaking righteousness (Selah)
Thou hast loved malice more than goodness: and iniquity rather than to speak righteousness.
4 You love all words of swallowing a tongue of deceit.
Thou hast loved all the words of ruin, 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)
Therefore will God destroy thee for ever: he will pluck thee out, and remove thee from thy dwelling place: and thy root out of the land of the living.
6 So they may see righteous [people] so they may fear and on him they will laugh.
The just shall see and fear, and shall laugh at him, and say:
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.
Behold the man that made not God his helper: But trusted in the abundance of his riches: and prevailed in his vanity.
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, as a fruitful olive tree in the house of God, have hoped in the mercy of God for ever, yea for ever 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 thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name, for it is good in the sight of thy saints.
