Psalm 52:2

God Judges The Proud

¹ To the Overseer. -- An instruction, by David, in the coming in of Doeg the Edomite, and he declareth to Saul, and saith to him, 'David came in unto the house of Ahimelech.' What, boasteth thou in evil, O mighty one? The kindness of God is all the day. ² Mischiefs doth thy tongue devise, Like a sharp razor, working deceit. ³ Thou hast loved evil rather than good, Lying, than speaking righteousness. Selah.
