Psa 52:1

Psa 52:1<To the chief music-maker. Maschil. Of David. When Doeg the Edomite came to Saul saying, David has come to the house of Ahimelech.> Why do you take pride in wrongdoing, lifting yourself up against the upright man all the day?

Psa 52:6The upright will see it with fear, and will say, laughing at you:
