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 Chief Musician. A contemplation by David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, "David has come to Abimelech's house."] Why do you boast of mischief, mighty man? God's loving kindness endures continually.

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

Your tongue plots destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

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

You love evil more than good, lying rather than speaking the truth. (Selah)

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

You love all devouring words, you 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)

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)

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

The righteous also will see it, and fear, and laugh at him, 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, this is the man who did not make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and was confident in his desire."

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 as for me, I am like a green olive tree in God's house. I trust in God's loving kindness 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 give you thanks forever, because you have done it. I will hope in your name, for it is good, in the presence of your faithful ones.
