Psalm 52:1-Psalm 53:1 - God Judges The Proud
1 To the Chief Musician. A contemplation. A Psalm 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 yourself in evil, O mighty man? The mercy of God endures forever. 2 Your tongue devises evil, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully. 3 You love evil more than good, and lying more than to speak righteousness. Selah. 4 You love all devouring words, O deceitful tongue.
5 God will likewise destroy you forever; He shall take you away, and pluck you out of your tent, and root you out of the land of the living. Selah. 6 And the righteous shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him, saying, 7 Behold, the man who did not make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, he was strong in his wickedness.
8 But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever. 9 I will praise You forever, because You have done it; and I will wait on Your name; for it is good before Your saints.
1 To the Chief Musician on Mahalath. A contemplation. A Psalm of David. The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They acted corruptly, and have worked out abominable wickedness; there is not one doing good.
