Psalm 52:1-2

Lexham English Bible

God’s Judgment on the Wicked and Love for the Faithful

For the music director. A maskil of David.

When Doeg the Edomite came and informed Saul.

And he said to him, “David has come to the house of Ahimelech.”^[a]

52 Why do you boast about evil, O mighty man?
The loyal love of God endures continually.^[b]
²Your tongue plans destruction,
like a sharp razor, working deceit.
