[1] To the chief music-maker. Maschil. Of David.\ [2] \52:1\When Doeg the
Edomite came to Saul saying, David has come to the house of Ahimelech. [3]
\52:1\Why do you take pride in wrongdoing, lifting yourself up against the
upright man all the day? [4] \52:2\Purposing destruction, using deceit;
your tongue is like a sharp blade. [5] \52:3\You have more love for evil
than for good, for deceit than for works of righteousness. (Selah.) [6]
\52:4\Destruction is in all your words, O false tongue. [7] \52:5\But God
will put an end to you for ever; driving you out from your tent, uprooting
you from the land of the living. (Selah.) [8] \52:6\The upright will see it
with fear, and will say, laughing at you: [9] \52:7\See, this is the man
who did not make God his strength, but had faith in his goods and his
property, and made himself strong in his wealth. [10] \52:8\But I am like a
branching olive-tree in the house of God; I have put my faith in his mercy
for ever and ever. [11] \52:9\I will give you praise without end for what
you have done; I will give honour to your name before your saints, for it
is good.
