Psalms 52 YLT
Summary: Headed with the occasion "when Doeg, the Edomite, came and told Saul... 'David has come to the house of Ahimelech'" (1 Samuel 22), Psalm 52 confronts a specific betrayer who informed on David and triggered the slaughter of the priests at Nob. It denounces Doeg's boasting in evil and love of lying words "more than speaking what is right" (v. 1, 3), likening him to a razor that works treachery. It contrasts his coming uprooting with the psalmist's own image of flourishing security, "like a green olive tree in the house of God" (v. 8).
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.
2Mischiefs doth thy tongue devise, Like a sharp razor, working deceit.
3Thou hast loved evil rather than good, Lying, than speaking righteousness. Selah.
4Thou hast loved all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.
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.
6And the righteous see, And fear, and laugh at him.
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.'
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,
9I thank Thee to the age, because Thou hast done it, And I wait on Thy name for it is good before Thy saints!
