      Psalm 52 (Listen)

      The Steadfast Love of God Endures

      To the choirmaster. A Maskil1 of David, when Doeg, the Edomite, came and told Saul, “David has come to the house of Ahimelech.”

      52:1   Why do you boast of evil, O mighty man?
          The steadfast love of God endures all the day.
      2   Your tongue plots destruction,
          like a sharp razor, you worker of deceit.
      3   You love evil more than good,
          and lying more than speaking what is right. Selah
      4   You love all words that devour,
          O deceitful tongue.
      5   But God will break you down forever;
          he will snatch and tear you from your tent;
          he will uproot you from the land of the living. Selah
      6   The righteous shall see and fear,
          and shall laugh at him, saying,
      7   “See the man who would not make
          God his refuge,
        but trusted in the abundance of his riches
          and sought refuge in his own destruction!”2
      8   But I am like a green olive tree
          in the house of God.
        I trust in the steadfast love of God
          forever and ever.
      9   I will thank you forever,
          because you have done it.
        I will wait for your name, for it is good,
          in the presence of the godly.
