To the chief Musician, Maschil [a.k.a. Maskil,] A Psalm of David, when Doeg, the Edomite, came & told Saul & said to him, David [has] come to the house of Ahimelech. |
Psalm 52:1-9 Book# 2 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks] |
O mighty man, why [do] you [boast about] yourself & your [misconduct?] The goodness of God endures [forever.] Your [mouth creates devious plans:] like a sharp [razor, cuts] working deceitfully. |
You love evil more than good & lying rather than [speaking what is righteous.] Selah. You [love every] word [that destroys,] O you, [with the] deceitful tongue. [Furthermore,] God shall [also] destroy you forever. |
He shall take you away & pluck you [from the] place [where you dwell,] [uprooting] you out of the land of the living. Selah. The righteous shall also see, fear & laugh at him. [Look,] this man [who didn't] make God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches & strengthened himself in his wickedness. |
But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God. I trust in the mercy of God forever & ever. I will praise You forever, because You have [accomplished] it. And I will wait on Your Name; for it is good before Your saints. |
