Psalms 52 — GNB
52Verse 1“For the leader of the music. A psalm of David, when Doeg, the Edomite, came and told Saul, and said to him, David is come to the house of Abimelech.” Why gloriest thou in mischief, thou man of violence? The goodness of God yet continueth daily.Verse 2Thy tongue deviseth mischief, Like a sharp razor, thou contriver of deceit!Verse 3Thou lovest evil more than good, And to lie more than to speak truth. [[Pause.]]Verse 4Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue!Verse 5Thee also shall God utterly destroy! o He shall seize thee, and tear thee from thy dwelling-place, And uproot thee from the land of the living. [[Pause.]]Verse 6The righteous shall see and fear, And shall laugh at him.Verse 7“Behold the man that made not God his strength, But trusted in the abundance of his riches, And placed his strength in his wickedness!”Verse 8But I shall be like a green olive-tree in the house of God; I will trust in the goodness of God for ever and ever.Verse 9I will praise thee for ever for what thou hast done; I will trust in thy name, because it is good, Before the eyes of thy godly ones!
