Psalms 52
1(For the one directing. A maskil of Dovid.
2When Do'eg HaAdomi [the Edomite] went to Sha'ul and said to him, Dovid has gone to Bais Achimelech) 1
3Why boastest thou thyself in ra'ah, O gibbor? 1 The chesed El is kol hayom. 1
4The leshon (tongue) deviseth treachery; 1 like a sharp ta'ar (razor), working remiyyah (deceit). 1
5Thou lovest rah more than tov; 1 and sheker rather than to speak tzedek. 1 Selah 1
6Thou lovest all devouring words, 1 O thou leshon mirmah (deceitful tongue). 1
7El shall likewise demolish thee for netzach (eternity), 1 He shall break thee, and pluck thee out of thy ohel, 1 and uproot thee out of the Eretz Chayyim. 1 Selah 1
8The tzaddikim also shall see, and fear, 1 and shall laugh at him: 1
9Hinei, this is the gever (man) that made not Elohim his ma'oz; 1 but trusted in the abundance of his osher (riches), 1 and strengthened himself in his treachery. 1
10But I am like a green zayit (olive tree) 1 in the Beis Elohim; 1 I trust in the chesed Elohim olam va'ed. 1
11I will give Thee thanks l'olam, because Thou hast done it; 1 and I will wait on Shimecha; 1 for it is tov before Thy chasidim.
