Bible Reading - Psalm 52

Psalm 52 (as read by Jenny)

For the Chief Musician. A contemplation by David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, “David has come to Abimelech’s house.”

52:1 Why do you boast of mischief, mighty man?

God’s loving kindness endures continually.

52:2 Your tongue plots destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

52:3 You love evil more than good, lying rather than speaking the truth.

Selah.

52:4 You love all devouring words, you deceitful tongue.

52:5 God will likewise destroy you forever.

He will take you up, and pluck you out of your tent,

and root you out of the land of the living.

Selah.

52:6 The righteous also will see it, and fear,

and laugh at him, saying,

52:7 “Behold, this is the man who didn’t make God his strength,

but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.”

52:8 But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in God’s house.

I trust in God’s loving kindness forever and ever.

52:9 I will give you thanks forever, because you have done it.

I will hope in your name, for it is good, in the presence of your saints.
