Psalm 52 - World English Bible with Hebrew

1 Why do you boast of mischief, mighty man? God's loving kindness endures continually.

1 לַמְנַצֵּ֗חַ מַשְׂכִּ֥יל לְדָוִֽד׃

2 Your tongue plots destruction, Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

2 בְּבֹ֤וא׀ דֹּואֵ֣ג הָאֲדֹמִי֮ וַיַּגֵּ֪ד לְשָׁ֫א֥וּל וַיֹּ֥אמֶר לֹ֑ו בָּ֥א דָ֝וִ֗ד אֶל־בֵּ֥ית אֲחִימֶֽלֶךְ׃

3 You love evil more than good, Lying rather than speaking the truth. Selah.

3 מַה־תִּתְהַלֵּ֣ל בְּ֭רָעָה הַגִּבֹּ֑ור חֶ֥סֶד אֵ֝֗ל כָּל־הַיֹּֽום׃

4 You love all devouring words, You deceitful tongue.

4 הַ֭וֹּות תַּחְשֹׁ֣ב לְשֹׁונֶ֑ךָ כְּתַ֥עַר מְ֝לֻטָּ֗שׁ עֹשֵׂ֥ה רְמִיָּֽה׃

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.

5 אָהַ֣בְתָּ רָּ֣ע מִטֹּ֑וב שֶׁ֓קֶר׀ מִדַּבֵּ֖ר צֶ֣דֶק סֶֽלָה׃

6 The righteous also will see it, and fear, And laugh at him, saying,

6 אָהַ֥בְתָּ כָֽל־דִּבְרֵי־בָ֗לַע לְשֹׁ֣ון מִרְמָֽה׃

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."

7 גַּם־אֵל֮ יִתָּצְךָ֪ לָ֫נֶ֥צַח יַחְתְּךָ֣ וְיִסָּחֲךָ֣ מֵאֹ֑הֶל וְשֵֽׁרֶשְׁךָ֙ מֵאֶ֖רֶץ חַיִּ֣ים סֶֽלָה׃

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.

8 וְיִרְא֖וּ צַדִּיקִ֥ים וְיִירָ֗אוּ וְעָלָ֥יו יִשְׂחָֽקוּ׃

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.

9 הִנֵּ֤ה הַגֶּ֗בֶר לֹ֤א יָשִׂ֥ים אֱלֹהִ֗ים מָֽע֫וּזֹּ֥ו וַ֭יִּבְטַח בְּרֹ֣ב עָשְׁרֹ֑ו יָ֝עֹ֗ז בְּהַוָּתֹֽו׃
