Psalm 52
1 Voor de leider van het koor. Een lied van David, om iets van te leren. 2 Hij maakte het toen de Edomiet Doëg aan Saul had verraden dat David in het huis van Achimelech was geweest.[a]
3 Jij machtig man, waarom ben je zo trots
op de slechte dingen die je doet?
En dat terwijl God elke dag goed voor jou is?
4 Je bent altijd slechte dingen van plan.
Je tong is zo scherp als een mes.
Je liegt en bedriegt.
5 Je houdt meer van het kwaad dan van het goede.
Je houdt meer van bedrog dan van de waarheid.
6 Met je tong doe je andere mensen graag kwaad.
Je vindt het heerlijk om ze te bedriegen.
7 Maar God zal jou voor eeuwig vernietigen!
Hij zal je grijpen en je je huis uit sleuren!
Hij zal je wegrukken uit het leven.
8 De mensen die leven zoals God het wil, zullen dat zien.
Ze zullen diep ontzag voor God krijgen.
Ze zullen over je lachen:
9 "Kijk, zó loopt het af met iemand die niet op God vertrouwde,
maar op zijn eigen rijkdom en macht.
Hij vertrouwde op zijn slechtheid."
10 Maar ik, ik ben sterk als een olijfboom vol bladeren
in het heiligdom van God.
Ik vertrouw op Gods goedheid, voor altijd en eeuwig.
11 Ik zal U voor altijd prijzen, omdat U altijd goed voor mij bent.
Ik zal op U vertrouwen, want U bent goed voor al uw vrienden.

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.
2 Your tongue devises destruction,
Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
3 You love evil more than good,
Lying rather than speaking righteousness. Selah
4 You love all devouring words,
You deceitful tongue.
5 God 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
6 The 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.”
8 But I am (C)like a green olive tree in the house of God;
I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever.
9 I 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.

52 Why do you boast of your wickedness, O man of power? The lovingkindness of God endures daily.
2 Your tongue imagines mischief, like a sharp razor that cuts deceitfully.
3 You love evil more than good, lies more than to speak the truth. Selah.
4 You love all words that may destroy. O deceitful tongue!
5 So shall God destroy you forever. He shall take you and pluck you out of your tabernacle, and root you out of the land of the living. Selah.
6 Also, the righteous shall see it, and fear, and shall laugh at him, saying,
7 “Behold the man who did not take God for His strength but trusted in the multitude of his riches and put his strength in his malice.”
8 But I shall be like a green olive tree in the House of God. I trusted in the mercy of God forever and ever.
9 I will always praise You because You have done this. And I will hope in Your Name because it is good before Your saints. To him who excels on Mahalath: A Psalm of David to give instruction

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.”
1 Why 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?
2 You who practice deceit,(D)
your tongue plots destruction;(E)
it is like a sharpened razor.(F)
3 You love evil(G) rather than good,
falsehood(H) rather than speaking the truth.[c]
4 You love every harmful word,
you deceitful tongue!(I)
5 Surely 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)
6 The 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!”
