Psalms 52:4 (NET) New English Translation

1 For the music director; a well-written song by David. It was written when Doeg the Edomite went and informed Saul: "David has arrived at the home of Ahimelech." Why do you boast about your evil plans, O powerful man? God's loyal love protects me all day long!
2 Your tongue carries out your destructive plans; it is as effective as a sharp razor, O deceiver.
3 You love evil more than good, lies more than speaking the truth. (Selah)
4 You love to use all the words that destroy, and the tongue that deceives.
5 Yet God will make you a permanent heap of ruins. He will scoop you up and remove you from your home; he will uproot you from the land of the living. (Selah)
6 When the godly see this, they will be filled with awe, and will mock the evildoer, saying:
7 "Look, here is the man who would not make God his protector! He trusted in his great wealth and was confident about his plans to destroy others."
8 But I am like a flourishing olive tree in the house of God; I continually trust in God's loyal love.
9 I will continually thank you when you execute judgment; I will rely on you, for your loyal followers know you are good.
1 To the chief Musician H5329 , Maschil H4905 , A Psalm of David H1732 , when Doeg H1673 the Edomite H130 came H935 and told H5046 Saul H7586 , and said H559 unto him , David H1732 is come H935 to H413 the house H1004 of Ahimelech H288 . Why H4100 boastest thou thyself H1984 in mischief H7451 , O mighty man H1368 ? the goodness H2617 of God H410 endureth continually H3605 .
2 Thy tongue H3956 deviseth H2803 mischiefs H1942 ; like a sharp H3913 razor H8593 , working H6213 deceitfully H7423 .
3 Thou lovest H157 evil H7451 more than good H2896 ; and lying H8267 rather than to speak H1696 righteousness H6664 . Selah H5542 .
4 Thou lovest H157 all H3605 devouring H1105 words H1697 , O thou deceitful H4820 tongue H3956 .
5 God H410 shall likewise H1571 destroy H5422 thee forever H5331 , he shall take thee away H2846 , and pluck thee out H5255 of thy dwelling place H168 , and root H8327 thee out of the land H776 of the living H2416 . Selah H5542 .
6 The righteous H6662 also shall see H7200 , and fear H3372 , and shall laugh H7832 at H5921 him :
7 Lo H2009 , this is the man H1397 that made H7760 not H3808 God H430 his strength H4581 ; but trusted H982 in the abundance H7230 of his riches H6239 , and strengthened H5810 himself in his wickedness H1942 .
8 But I H589 am like a green H7488 olive tree H2132 in the house H1004 of God H430 : I trust H982 in the mercy H2617 of God H430 forever H5769 and ever H5703 .
9 I will praise H3034 thee forever H5769 NMS , because H3588 CONJ thou hast done H6213 VQQ2MS it : and I will wait on H6960 thy name H8034 ; for H3588 CONJ it is good H2896 AMS before H5048 thy saints H2623 .
