Salmos 52

¹ To the Chief Musician, a maschil. A Psalm of David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David is come to the house of Ahimelech. Why boast you yourself in evil, O mighty man? the goodness of God endures continually.

² Your tongue devises evil; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

³ You love evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.

⁴ You love all devouring words, O you deceitful tongue.

⁵ God shall likewise destroy you forever, he shall take you away, and pluck you out of your dwelling place, and root you out of the land of the living. Selah.

⁶ The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:

⁷ Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself 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.
