CHAPTER 52
For the choirmaster.
A Maskil
of David.
After Doeg
the Edomite
went
to Saul
and told
him,
“David
has gone
to
the house
of Ahimelech.”
Why
do you boast
of evil,
O mighty man?
The loving devotion
of God
endures all
day long.
Surely
God
will bring you down
to everlasting ruin;
He will snatch you up
and tear you away
from your tent;
He will uproot you
from the land
of the living.
Selah
“Look at
the man
who did not
make
God
his refuge,
but trusted
in the abundance
of his wealth,
who strengthened himself
by bringing destruction.”
But I
am like an olive tree
flourishing
in the house
of God;
I trust
in the loving devotion
of God
forever
and ever.
I will praise You
forever,
because
You have done it.
I will wait on
Your name—
for
it is good—
in the presence
of Your saints.
