Psalm 52
NET Parallel NLT [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
NET BibleNew Living Translation
1For the music director; a well-written song by David. It was written when Doeg the Edomite went and informed Saul: "David has arrived at the home of Ahimelech." Why do you boast about your evil plans, O powerful man? God's loyal love protects me all day long! 1Why do you boast about your crimes, great warrior? Don’t you realize God’s justice continues forever?
2Your tongue carries out your destructive plans; it is as effective as a sharp razor, O deceiver. 2All day long you plot destruction. Your tongue cuts like a sharp razor; you’re an expert at telling lies.
3You love evil more than good, lies more than speaking the truth. (Selah) 3You love evil more than good and lies more than truth. Interlude
4You love to use all the words that destroy, and the tongue that deceives. 4You love to destroy others with your words, you liar!
5Yet God will make you a permanent heap of ruins. He will scoop you up and remove you from your home; he will uproot you from the land of the living. (Selah) 5But God will strike you down once and for all. He will pull you from your home and uproot you from the land of the living. Interlude
6When the godly see this, they will be filled with awe, and will mock the evildoer, saying: 6The righteous will see it and be amazed. They will laugh and say,
7"Look, here is the man who would not make God his protector! He trusted in his great wealth and was confident about his plans to destroy others." 7“Look what happens to mighty warriors who do not trust in God. They trust their wealth instead and grow more and more bold in their wickedness.”
8But I am like a flourishing olive tree in the house of God; I continually trust in God's loyal love. 8But I am like an olive tree, thriving in the house of God. I will always trust in God’s unfailing love.
9I will continually thank you when you execute judgment; I will rely on you, for your loyal followers know you are good. 9I will praise you forever, O God, for what you have done. I will trust in your good name in the presence of your faithful people.
