Psalm 52

New International Version

Psalm 52^[a]

For the director of music. A maskil^[b] of David. When Doeg the Edomite^(A) had gone to Saul and told him: “David has gone to the house of Ahimelek.”

¹Why do you boast of evil, you mighty hero?
    Why do you boast^(B) all day long,^(C)
    you who are a disgrace in the eyes of God?
²You who practice deceit,^(D)
    your tongue plots destruction;^(E)
    it is like a sharpened razor.^(F)
³You love evil^(G) rather than good,
    falsehood^(H) rather than speaking the truth.^[c]
⁴You love every harmful word,
    you deceitful tongue!^(I)

⁵Surely God will bring you down to everlasting ruin:
    He will snatch you up and pluck^(J) you from your tent;
    he will uproot^(K) you from the land of the living.^(L)
⁶The righteous will see and fear;
    they will laugh^(M) at you, saying,
⁷“Here now is the man
    who did not make God his stronghold^(N)
but trusted in his great wealth^(O)
    and grew strong by destroying others!”

⁸But I am like an olive tree^(P)
    flourishing in the house of God;
I trust^(Q) in God’s unfailing love
    for ever and ever.
⁹For what you have done I will always praise you^(R)
    in the presence of your faithful people.^(S)
And I will hope in your name,^(T)
    for your name is good.^(U)

Reina-Valera 1960

Futilidad de la jactancia del malo

Al músico principal. Masquil de David, cuando vino Doeg edomita y dio cuenta a Saúl diciéndole: David ha venido a casa de Ahimelec.^(A)

52 ¿Por qué te jactas de maldad, oh poderoso?
La misericordia de Dios es continua.
2 Agravios maquina tu lengua;
Como navaja afilada hace engaño.
3 Amaste el mal más que el bien,
La mentira más que la verdad. Selah
4 Has amado toda suerte de palabras perniciosas,
Engañosa lengua.

5 Por tanto, Dios te destruirá para siempre;
Te asolará y te arrancará de tu morada,
Y te desarraigará de la tierra de los vivientes. Selah
6 Verán los justos, y temerán;
Se reirán de él, diciendo:
7 He aquí el hombre que no puso a Dios por su fortaleza,
Sino que confió en la multitud de sus riquezas,
Y se mantuvo en su maldad.

8 Pero yo estoy como olivo verde en la casa de Dios;
En la misericordia de Dios confío eternamente y para siempre.
9 Te alabaré para siempre, porque lo has hecho así;
Y esperaré en tu nombre, porque es bueno, delante de tus santos.

Psalm 52

New King James Version

The End of the Wicked and the Peace of the Godly

To the Chief Musician. A ^[a]Contemplation of David ^(A)when Doeg the Edomite went and ^(B)told Saul, and said to him, “David has gone to the house of Ahimelech.”

52 Why do you boast in evil, O mighty man?
The goodness of God endures continually.
²Your tongue devises destruction,
Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
³You love evil more than good,
Lying rather than speaking righteousness. Selah
⁴You love all devouring words,
You deceitful tongue.

⁵God shall likewise destroy you forever;
He shall take you away, and pluck you out of your dwelling place,
And uproot you from the land of the living. Selah
⁶The righteous also shall see and fear,
And shall laugh at him, saying,
⁷“Here is the man who did not make God his strength,
But trusted in the abundance of his riches,
And strengthened himself in his ^[b]wickedness.”

⁸But I am ^(C)like a green olive tree in the house of God;
I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever.
⁹I will praise You forever,
Because You have done it;
And in the presence of Your saints
I will wait on Your name, for it ^[c]is good.
