PSALM 1952 ->
The Deceitful Tongue
1 For the leader. A maskil of David,
2 when Doeg the Edomite went and told Saul,
"David went to the house of Ahimelech."
3 Why do you glory in evil,
you scandalous liar?
All day long
4 you plot destruction;
your tongue is
like a sharpened razor,
you skillful deceiver.
5 You love evil rather than good,
lies rather than honest speech. Selah
6 You love any word that destroys,
you deceitful tongue.
7 Now God will strike you down,
leave you crushed forever, Pluck you from your tent,
uproot you from the land of the living.
Selah
8 The righteous will look on with awe;
they will jeer and say:
9 "That one did not take God as a refuge,
but trusted in great wealth, relied on devious plots."
10 But I, like an olive tree in the house of God,
trust in God's faithful love forever.
11 I will praise you always for what you have done.
I will proclaim before the faithful that your name is good.
