תהילים 52

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

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.

2 הַוּוֹת תַּחְשֹׁב לְשׁוֹנֶךָ כְּתַעַר מְלֻטָּשׁ עֹשֵׂה רְמִיָּֽה׃

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

3 אָהַבְתָּ רָּע מִטּוֹב שֶׁקֶר ׀ מִדַּבֵּר צֶדֶק סֶֽלָה׃

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

4 אָהַבְתָּ כָֽל־דִּבְרֵי־בָלַע לְשׁוֹן מִרְמָֽה׃

You love all devouring words, you deceitful tongue.

5 גַּם־אֵל יִתָּצְךָ לָנֶצַח יַחְתְּךָ וְיִסָּחֲךָ מֵאֹהֶל וְשֵֽׁרֶשְׁךָ מֵאֶרֶץ חַיִּים סֶֽלָה׃

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 וְיִרְאוּ צַדִּיקִים וְיִירָאוּ וְעָלָיו יִשְׂחָֽקוּ׃

The righteous also will see it, and fear, and laugh at him, saying,

7 הִנֵּה הַגֶּבֶר לֹא יָשִׂים אֱלֹהִים מָֽעוּזּוֹ וַיִּבְטַח בְּרֹב עָשְׁרוֹ יָעֹז בְּהַוָּתֽוֹ׃

“Behold, this is the man who didn’t make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.”

8 וַאֲנִי ׀ כְּזַיִת רַעֲנָן בְּבֵית אֱלֹהִים בָּטַחְתִּי בְחֶֽסֶד־אֱלֹהִים עוֹלָם וָעֶֽד׃

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

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.
