Psalm 52:2

God Judges The Proud

¹ For the choir director. A Maskil of David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul and said to him, “David has come to the house of Ahimelech.”
Why do you boast in evil, O mighty man?
The lovingkindness of God endures all day long.
² Your tongue devises destruction,
Like a sharp razor, O worker of deceit.
³ You love evil more than good,
Falsehood more than speaking what is right. Selah.
