Chapter 52

Natsach Maskiyl of David, when Do''eg the Edomiy came and told Sha''ul, and said unto him, David is come to the house of Achiymelek.

1

WHY boast you yourself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of El endures continually.

2

Your tongue devises mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

3

You love evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Celah.

4

You love all devouring words, O you deceitful tongue.

5

El shall likewise destroy you forever, he shall take you away, and pluck you out of your dwelling place, and root you out of the land of the living. Celah.

6

The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:

7

Lo, this is the man that made not Elohiym his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.

8

But I am like a green olive tree in the house of Elohiym: I trust in the mercy of Elohiym forever and ever.

9

I will praise you forever, because you have done it: and I will wait on your name; for it is good before your chaciyd.
