Psalm 52

Hebrew Names Version HNV

1 <<For the Chief Musician. A maskil by David, when Do'eg the Edomite came and told Sha'ul, "David has come to Avimelekh's house.">> Why do you boast of mischief, mighty man? God's lovingkindness endures continually.

2 Your tongue plots destruction, Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

3 You love evil more than good, Lying rather than speaking the truth. Selah.

4 You love all devouring words, You deceitful tongue.

5 God will likewise destroy you forever. He will take you up, and pluck you out of your tent, And root you out of the land of the living. Selah.

6 The righteous also will see it, and fear, And laugh at him, saying,

7 "Behold, this is the man who didn't make God his strength, But trusted in the abundance of his riches, And strengthened himself in his wickedness."

8 But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in God's house. I trust in God's lovingkindness forever and ever.

9 I will give you thanks forever, because you have done it. I will hope in your name, for it is good, In the presence of your holy ones.

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.
