Psalm 52:1-Psalm 53:1 - 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
⁴ You love any words that destroy,
you treacherous tongue!

⁵ This is why God will bring you down forever.
He will take you, ripping you out of your tent;
He will uproot you from the land of the living.Selah
⁶ The righteous will look on with awe
and will ridicule him:
⁷ “Here is the man
who would not make God his refuge,
but trusted in the abundance of his riches,
taking refuge in his destructive behavior.”

⁸ But I am like a flourishing olive tree
in the house of God;
I trust in God’s faithful love forever and ever.
⁹ I will praise You forever for what You have done.
In the presence of Your faithful people,
I will put my hope in Your name, for it is good.

¹ For the choir director: on Mahalath. A Davidic Maskil.The fool says in his heart, “God does not exist.”
They are corrupt, and they do vile deeds.
There is no one who does good.
