Psalms 52

God Will Punish the Proud

For the director of music. A maskil of David. When Doeg the Edomite came to Saul and said to him, "David is in Ahimelech's house."

1 Mighty warrior, why do you brag about the evil you do?
    God's love will continue forever.
2 You think up evil plans.
    Your tongue is like a sharp razor,
    making up lies.
3 You love wrong more than right
    and lies more than truth. Selah
4 You love words that bite
    and tongues that lie.

5 But God will ruin you forever.
    He will grab you and throw you out of your tent;
    he will tear you away from the land of the living. Selah
6 Those who do right will see this and fear God.
    They will laugh at you and say,
7 "Look what happened to the man
    who did not depend on God
but depended on his money.
    He grew strong by his evil plans."

8 But I am like an olive tree
    growing in God's Temple.
I trust God's love
    forever and ever.
9 God, I will thank you forever for what you have done.
    With those who worship you, I will trust you because you are good.
