Psalms 52 : 1 (NET)
*For the music director; a well-written song by David. It was written when Doeg the Edomite went and informed Saul: "David has arrived at the home of Ahimelech." Why do you boast about your evil plans, O powerful man? God's loyal love protects me all day long!
Psalms 52 : 2 (NET)
Your tongue carries out your destructive plans; it is as effective as a sharp razor, O deceiver.
Psalms 52 : 3 (NET)
You love evil more than good, lies more than speaking the truth. (Selah)
Psalms 52 : 4 (NET)
You love to use all the words that destroy, and the tongue that deceives.
Psalms 52 : 5 (NET)
Yet God will make you a permanent heap of ruins. He will scoop you up and remove you from your home; he will uproot you from the land of the living. (Selah)
Psalms 52 : 6 (NET)
When the godly see this, they will be filled with awe, and will mock the evildoer, saying:
Psalms 52 : 7 (NET)
"Look, here is the man who would not make God his protector! He trusted in his great wealth and was confident about his plans to destroy others."
Psalms 52 : 8 (NET)
But I am like a flourishing olive tree in the house of God; I continually trust in God's loyal love.
Psalms 52 : 9 (NET)
I will continually thank you when you execute judgment; I will rely on you, for your loyal followers know you are good.
