Psalms 52 — TOJB

52Verse 1(For the one directing. A maskil of Dovid.^{Verse 2}When Do'eg HaAdomi [the Edomite] went to Sha'ul and said to him, Dovid has gone to Bais Achimelech)^{Verse 3}Why boastest thou thyself in ra'ah, O gibbor?
The chesed El is kol hayom.
^{Verse 4}The leshon (tongue) deviseth treachery;
like a sharp ta'ar (razor), working remiyyah (deceit).
^{Verse 5}Thou lovest rah more than tov;
and sheker rather than to speak tzedek.
Selah
^{Verse 6}Thou lovest all devouring words,
O thou leshon mirmah (deceitful tongue).^{Verse 7}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
^{Verse 8}The tzaddikim also shall see, and fear,
and shall laugh at him:
^{Verse 9}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.^{Verse 10}But I am like a green zayit (olive tree)
in the Beis Elohim;
I trust in the chesed Elohim olam va'ed.
^{Verse 11}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.
