Psalm 52 - Evangelical Heritage Version - 2021（EHV）

Your Tongue Is a RazorFor the choir director. A maskil

by David.When Doeg the Edomite went and informed Sauland said to him, “David has gone to the house of Ahimelek.”Doeg's Sin

1Why do you boast about evil, you hero?

The mercy of God endures all day long.

2Your tongue plans destruction.

It is like a sharpened razor, you scheming liar.

3You love evil rather than good.

You love lying rather than speaking what is right. Interlude

4You lying tongue, you love every word that devours!

Doeg's Judgment

5But God will tear you down forever.

He will grab you and pull you out of your tent.

He will uproot you from the land of the living. Interlude

6Then the righteous will see and fear.

Then they will laugh at him:

7“Look, here is the man who did not make God his stronghold,

but trusted in the greatness of his wealth.

He grew strong by his destructive deeds!”

David's Delivery

8But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God.

I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever.

9I will thank you forever because you have done this.

I will hope in your name in the presence of your favored ones

because it is good.
