The Book of Psalms 52

52 A psalm written by David for the choir director when Doeg went to Saul and said, “David has gone to talk with Ahimelech, the high priest.”

52 You proud man, you think that you are strong;

you boast about the trouble that you make for others,

but God faithfully protects people from you every day.

2 All during the day you plan to get rid of others;

what you say is like a sharp blade,

and you are always deceiving others.

3 You like doing what is evil more than you like doing what is good,

and you like telling lies more than you like telling the truth.

4 You, the one who says things to deceive people,

you like to say things that hurt people!

5 But God will get rid of you forever;

he will grab you and drag you from your home

and take you away from this world where people are alive.

6 When righteous people see that, they will be awestruck,

and they will laugh at what happened to you, and say,

7 “Look what happened to the man who would not ask God to protect him;

he trusted that his great wealth would save him;

he grew more powerful by wickedly hurting other people.”

8 But I am secure because I worship in God’s temple;

I am like a strong green olive tree.

I trust in God, who faithfully loves us forever.

9 God, I will always thank you for everything you have done.

I will wait patiently because you are so good,

especially when I stand before your faithful people.
