Psalm 52

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 For the leader. A maskil of David, when Do'eg from Edom came and told Sha'ul, "David has arrived at the house of Achimelekh": Why do you boast of your evil, you tyrant, when God's mercy is present every day?

2 Your tongue, as sharp as a razor, plots destruction and works deception.

3 You love evil more than good, lies rather than speaking uprightly. (Selah)

4 You love all words that eat people up, you deceitful tongue!

5 This is why God will strike you down, seize you, pluck you from your tent and uproot you from the land of the living. (Selah)

6 The righteous will see and be awestruck; they will jeer at him, saying,

7 "This fellow would not make God his refuge, but trusted in his own great wealth, relying on his evil plots."

8 But I am like a leafy olive tree in the house of God; I put my trust in the grace of God forever and ever.

9 I will praise you forever for what you have done, and I will put my hope in your name; for this is what is good in the presence of your faithful.

The Message Bible MSG

1 Why do you brag of evil, "Big Man"? God's mercy carries the day.

2 You scheme catastrophe; your tongue cuts razor-sharp, artisan in lies.

3 You love evil more than good, you call black white.

4 You love malicious gossip, you foul-mouth.

5 God will tear you limb from limb, sweep you up and throw you out, Pull you up by the roots from the land of life.

6 Good people will watch and worship. They'll laugh in relief:

7 "Big Man bet on the wrong horse, trusted in big money, made his living from catastrophe."

8 And I'm an olive tree, growing green in God's house. I trusted in the generous mercy of God then and now.

9 I thank you always that you went into action. And I'll stay right here, your good name my hope, in company with your faithful friends.
