Psalm 52

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.

Young's Literal Translation YLT

1 To the Overseer. -- An instruction, by David, in the coming in of Doeg the Edomite, and he declareth to Saul, and saith to him, `David came in unto the house of Ahimelech.' What, boasteth thou in evil, O mighty one? The kindness of God [is] all the day.

2 Mischiefs doth thy tongue devise, Like a sharp razor, working deceit.

3 Thou hast loved evil rather than good, Lying, than speaking righteousness. Selah.

4 Thou hast loved all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.

5 Also -- God doth break thee down for ever, Taketh thee, and pulleth thee out of the tent, And He hath uprooted thee Out of the land of the living. Selah.

6 And the righteous see, And fear, and laugh at him.

7 `Lo, the man who maketh not God his strong place, And trusteth in the abundance of his riches, He is strong in his mischiefs.'

8 And I, as a green olive in the house of God, I have trusted in the kindness of God, To the age and for ever,

9 I thank Thee to the age, because Thou hast done [it], And I wait [on] Thy name for [it is] good before Thy saints!
