Psalm 52 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Psa 52:1To the Overseer. -- An instruction, by David, in the coming in of Doeg the Edomite, and he declareth to Saul, and saith to him, 'David came in unto the house of Ahimelech.' What, boasteth thou in evil, O mighty one? The kindness of God is all the day.
Psa 52:2Mischiefs doth thy tongue devise, Like a sharp razor, working deceit.
Psa 52:3Thou hast loved evil rather than good, Lying, than speaking righteousness. Selah.
Psa 52:4Thou hast loved all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.
Psa 52:5Also -- God doth break thee down for ever, Taketh thee, and pulleth thee out of the tent, And He hath uprooted thee Out of the land of the living. Selah.
Psa 52:6And the righteous see, And fear, and laugh at him.
Psa 52:7'Lo, the man who maketh not God his strong place, And trusteth in the abundance of his riches, He is strong in his mischiefs.'
Psa 52:8And I, as a green olive in the house of God, I have trusted in the kindness of God, To the age and for ever,
Psa 52:9I thank Thee to the age, because Thou hast done it, And I wait on Thy name for it is good before Thy saints!
