1 For the one directing. A Maskil of David, in the coming of Doeg the Edomite, when he announced to Saul and said to him, “David has gone to the house of Ahimelech.” Why do you boast in evil, O mighty man? The loving devotion of God is all the day. 2 Your tongue devises destruction, like a sharp razor working deceit. 3 You love evil more than good, lying more than speaking righteousness. Selah 4 You love all devouring words, O tongue of deceit! 5 Even God will tear you down forever; He will take you up and pluck you out of the tent and uproot you from the land of the living. Selah 6 and the righteous will see and fear, and they shall laugh at him: 7 “Behold the man who did not set God as his refuge, and who trusted in the abundance of his wealth, and took strength by destruction.” Psalms 52:1-7, Berean Literal Bible.
