[[For the end, [a Psalm] of instruction by David, when Doec the Edomite{gr.Idumean} came and told Saul, and said to him, David is gone to the house of Abimelech.]] Why dost thou, O mighty man, boast of iniquity in [thy] mischief? All the day |

Why°
boastest°°
thou thyself°
in mischief,°
O mighty°
man?°
the goodness°
of El°
[endureth] continually.°° |
52:2
thy tongue has devised unrighteousness; like a sharpened razor thou hast wrought deceit. |
|
52:2
Thy tongue°
deviseth°°
mischiefs;°
like a sharp°°
razor,°
working°°
deceitfully.° |

Thou hast loved wickedness more than goodness; unrighteousness better than to speak righteousness. Pause. |

righteousness.°

destroy°°
thee for ever,°
he shall take thee away,°°

and root°
thee out°°
of the land°°
of the living.°

at°
him: |
52:7
Behold the man who made not God his help; but trusted in the abundance of his wealth, and strengthened himself in his vanity. |
|
52:7
Lo,°
[this is] the man°
[that] made°°
not°
Elohim°
his strength;°
but trusted°°
in the abundance°
of his riches,°
[and] strengthened°°
himself in his wickedness.° |
52:8
But I am as a fruitful olive in the house of God: I have trusted in the mercy of God for ever, even for evermore. |

[am] like a green°
olive tree°
in the house°
of Elohim:°
I trust°°
in the mercy°

for ever°
and ever.° |
