תהילים 52

1 לַמְנַצֵּחַ מַשְׂכִּיל לְדָוִֽד׃ בְּבוֹא ׀ דּוֹאֵג הָאֲדֹמִי וַיַּגֵּד לְשָׁאוּל וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ בָּא דָוִד אֶל־בֵּית אֲחִימֶֽלֶךְ׃ מַה־תִּתְהַלֵּל בְּרָעָה הַגִּבּוֹר חֶסֶד אֵל כׇּל־הַיּֽוֹם׃

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 הַוּוֹת תַּחְשֹׁב לְשׁוֹנֶךָ כְּתַעַר מְלֻטָּשׁ עֹשֵׂה רְמִיָּֽה׃

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

3 אָהַבְתָּ רָּע מִטּוֹב שֶׁקֶר ׀ מִדַּבֵּר צֶדֶק סֶֽלָה׃

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

4 אָהַבְתָּ כׇֽל־דִּבְרֵי־בָלַע לְשׁוֹן מִרְמָֽה׃

You love every word that devours, O deceitful tongue.

5 גַּם־אֵל יִתׇּצְךָ לָנֶצַח יַחְתְּךָ וְיִסָּחֲךָ מֵאֹהֶל וְשֵׁרֶשְׁךָ מֵאֶרֶץ חַיִּים סֶֽלָה׃

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 וְיִרְאוּ צַדִּיקִים וְיִירָאוּ וְעָלָיו יִשְׂחָֽקוּ׃

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

7 הִנֵּה הַגֶּבֶר לֹא יָשִׂים אֱלֹהִים מָעוּזּוֹ וַיִּבְטַח בְּרֹב עׇשְׁרוֹ יָעֹז בְּהַוָּתֽוֹ׃

“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 וַאֲנִי ׀ כְּזַיִת רַעֲנָן בְּבֵית אֱלֹהִים בָּטַחְתִּי בְחֶסֶד־אֱלֹהִים עוֹלָם וָעֶֽד׃

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 אוֹדְךָ לְעוֹלָם כִּי עָשִׂיתָ וַאֲקַוֶּה שִׁמְךָ כִי־טוֹב נֶגֶד חֲסִידֶֽיךָ׃

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.
