Psalm 52
For the director of music. A maskil of David when Doeg, who was from Edom, had gone to Saul. Doeg had told Saul, “David has gone to the house of Ahimelek.”
1You think you are such a big, strong man!
Why do you brag about the evil things you’ve done?
You are a dishonor to God all the time.
2You plan ways to destroy others.
Your tongue is like a blade that has a sharp edge.
You are always telling lies.
3You love evil instead of good.
You would rather lie than tell the truth.
4You love to harm others with your words, you liar!
5So God will destroy you forever.
He will grab you and pluck you from your tent.
He will remove you from this life.
6Those who do what is right will see it and learn a lesson from it.
They will laugh at you and say,
7“Just look at this fellow!
He didn’t depend on God for his safety.
He put his trust in all his wealth.
He grew strong by destroying others!”
8But I am like a healthy olive tree.
My roots are deep in the house of God.
I trust in your faithful love
for ever and ever.
9I will praise you forever for what you have done.
I will praise you when I’m with your faithful people.
I will put my hope in you because you are good.
