Psalm 52:2

God Judges The Proud

¹ For the choir director. A Davidic Maskil. When Doeg the Edomite went and reported to Saul, telling him, “David went to Ahimelech’s house.”Why brag about evil, you hero!
God’s faithful love is constant.
² Like a sharpened razor,
your tongue devises destruction,
working treachery.
³ You love evil instead of good,
lying instead of speaking truthfully.Selah
