Literal Version

52:0 God’s judgement and mercy

52 For the musical director: a song[fn] by David written when Doeg the Edomite reported to King Shaul that, “David went there to Ahimilik.”

52Why are you proud of making trouble, you powerful man?

God’s loyal commitment comes every day.

2Your tongue plans destruction—

working deceitfully like a sharp razor.

3You love evil more than good

and lying rather than speaking the truth. (Instrumental break.)

4You love saying anything that destroys other people, you deceitful tongue,

5so God will also destroy you forever.

He’ll snatch you up and pluck you out of your tent

and root you out of the land of the living. (Instrumental break.)

6Godly people will also see it and fear.

They’ll laugh at him and say,

7“Look, that’s a man who didn’t rely on God for his protection,

but instead trusted in the abundance of his wealth,

and he was strong when he destroyed others.”

8But as for me, I’m like a flourishing olive tree in God’s house.

I’ll trust in God’s loyal commitment forever.

9I’ll continually thank you for what you’ve done.

I’ll rely on your reputation, because it’s good,

in the presence of your faithful followers.


52:0 In Hebrew, ‘maskil’ is perhaps the name of this class of song.
