TEHILLIM 52

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