Psalm 52
To the chief Musician: an instruction. Of David; when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David came to the house of Ahimelech.
Why boastest thou thyself in evil, thou mighty man? The loving-kindness of •God abideth continually. Thy tongue deviseth mischievous things, like a sharp razor, practising deceit. Thou hast loved evil rather than good, lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah. Thou hast loved all devouring words, O deceitful tongue! •God shall likewise destroy thee for ever; he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of thy tent, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah.
6The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him, saying, 7Behold the man that made not God his strength, but put confidence in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his avarice. 8But as for me, I am like a green olive-tree in the house of God: I will confide in the loving-kindness of God for ever and ever. 9I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it; and I will wait on thy name, before thy godly ones, for it is good.
Psalm 53
To the chief Musician. On Mahalath: an instruction. Of David.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God! They have corrupted themselves, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good. God looked down from the heavens upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God. Every one of them is gone back, they are together become corrupt: there is none that doeth good, not even one. Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, eating up my people as they eat bread? they call not upon God. There were they in great fear, where no fear was; for God scattereth the bones of him that encampeth against thee. Thou hast put them to shame, for God hath despised them. Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God turneth again the captivity of his people, Jacob shall be glad, Israel shall rejoice.
Psalm 54
To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments: an instruction. Of David; when the Ziphites came, and said to Saul, Is not David hiding himself with us?
O God, by thy name save me, and by thy strength do me justice. O God, hear my prayer; give ear to the words of my mouth. For strangers are risen up against me, and the violent seek after my life: they have not set God before them. Selah.
4Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is among them that uphold my soul. 5He will requite evil to mine enemies: in thy truth cut them off. 6I will freely sacrifice unto thee; I will praise thy name, O Jehovah, because it is good. 7For he hath delivered me out of all trouble; and mine eye hath seen its desire upon mine enemies.
