American Standard Version Byzantine Text
Psalms • Chapter 52
1
For the Chief Musician. Maskil of David; when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David is come to the house of Ahimelech. Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? The lovingkindness of God (Elohim) endureth continually.
2
Thy tongue deviseth very wickedness, Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
3
Thou lovest evil more than good, And lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah
4
Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.
5
God (Elohim) will likewise destroy thee forever; He will take thee up, and pluck thee out of thy tent, And root thee out of the land of the living. Selah
6
The righteous also shall see it, and fear, And shall laugh at him, saying,
7
Lo, this is the man that made not God (Elohim) his strength, But trusted in the abundance of his riches, And strengthened himself in his wickedness.
8
But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in the house of God (Elohim): I trust in the lovingkindness of God (Elohim) forever and ever.
9
I will give thee thanks forever, because thou hast done it; And I will hope in thy name, for it is good, in the presence of thy saints.
