Psalms 52
52
Psalm 52
For the choir director; a maskil; a psalm by David when Doeg (who was from Edom) told Saul that David had come to Ahimelech’s home.
1Why do you brag about the evil you’ve done, you hero?
The mercy of God lasts all day long!
2Your tongue makes up threats.
It’s like a sharp razor, you master of deceit.
3You prefer evil to good.
You prefer lying to speaking the truth. Selah
4You love every destructive accusation, you deceitful tongue!
5But God will ruin you forever.
He will grab you and drag you out of your tent.
He will pull your roots out of this world of the living. Selah
6Righteous people will see ⌞this⌟ and be struck with fear.
They will laugh at you and say,
7“Look at this person who refused to make God his fortress!
Instead, he trusted his great wealth
and became strong through his greed.”
8But I am like a large olive tree in God’s house.
I trust the mercy of God forever and ever.
9I will give thanks to you forever
for what you have done.
In the presence of your godly people,
I will wait with hope in your good name.

Tehillim 52
52
(For the one directing. A maskil of Dovid. When Do'eg HaAdomi [the Edomite] went to Sha'ul and said to him, Dovid has gone to Bais Achimelech)
1 Why boastest thou thyself in ra'ah, O gibbor? The chesed El is kol hayom.
2 The leshon (tongue) deviseth treachery; like a sharp ta'ar (razor), working remiyyah (deceit).
3 Thou lovest rah more than tov; and sheker rather than to speak tzedek. Selah
4 Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou leshon mirmah (deceitful tongue).
5 El shall likewise demolish thee for netzach (eternity), He shall break thee, and pluck thee out of thy ohel, and uproot thee out of the Eretz Chayyim. Selah
6 The tzaddikim also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:
7 Hinei, this is the gever (man) that made not Elohim his ma'oz; but trusted in the abundance of his osher (riches), and strengthened himself in his treachery.
8 But I am like a green zayit (olive tree) in the Beis Elohim; I trust in the chesed Elohim olam va'ed.
9 I will give Thee thanks l'olam, because Thou hast done it; and I will wait on Shimecha; for it is tov before Thy chasidim.
