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.”
52 Why are you proud of making trouble, you powerful man?
God’s loyal commitment comes every day.
2 Your tongue plans destruction—
working deceitfully like a sharp razor.
3 You love evil more than good
≈and lying rather than speaking the truth. (Instrumental break.)
4 You love saying anything that destroys other people, you deceitful tongue,
5 ≈so 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.)
6 Godly 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.”
8 But as for me, I’m like a flourishing olive tree in God’s house.
I’ll trust in God’s loyal commitment forever.
9 I’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.
