1To the chief music-maker. Maschil. Of David.\ 2\52:1\When Doeg the Edomite came to Saul saying, David has come to the house of Ahimelech. 3\52:1\Why do you take pride in wrongdoing, lifting yourself up against the upright man all the day? 4\52:2\Purposing destruction, using deceit; your tongue is like a sharp blade. 5\52:3\You have more love for evil than for good, for deceit than for works of righteousness. (Selah.) 6\52:4\Destruction is in all your words, O false tongue. 7\52:5\But God will put an end to you for ever; driving you out from your tent, uprooting you from the land of the living. (Selah.) 8\52:6\The upright will see it with fear, and will say, laughing at you: 9\52:7\See, this is the man who did not make God his strength, but had faith in his goods and his property, and made himself strong in his wealth. 10\52:8\But I am like a branching olive-tree in the house of God; I have put my faith in his mercy for ever and ever. 11\52:9\I will give you praise without end for what you have done; I will give honour to your name before your saints, for it is good.
