Chapter 52

1


 

  To the chief Musician, Maschil, [A Psalm] of David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David is come to the house of Ahimelech. Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God [endureth] continually.  

 

 


2


 

  Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.  

 

 


3


 

  Thou lovest evil more than good; [and] lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.  

 

 


4


 

  Thou lovest all devouring words, O [thou] deceitful tongue.  

 

 


5


 

  God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of [thy] dwelling place, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah.  

 

 


6


 

  The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:  

 

 


7


 

  Lo, [this is] the man [that] made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, [and] strengthened himself in his wickedness.  

 

 


8


 

  But I [am] like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.  

 

 


9


 

  I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done [it]: and I will wait on thy name; for [it is] good before thy saints.
