When Doeg the Edomite came to Saul saying, David has come to the house of Ahimelech.> Why do you take pride in wrongdoing, lifting yourself up against the upright man all the day? |
| Psalms 52:2 | Thy tongue deviseth very wickedness, Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully. | Purposing destruction, using deceit; your tongue is like a sharp blade. |

| Psalms 52:8 | But as for me, I am like a green olive-tree in the house of God: I trust in the lovingkindness of God for ever and ever. | But I am like a branching olive-tree in the house of God; I have put my faith in his mercy for ever and ever. |
| Psalms 52:9 | I will give thee thanks for ever, because thou hast done it; And I will hope in thy name, for it is good, in the presence of thy saints. Psalm 53 For the Chief Musician; set to Mahalath. Maschil of David. | I will give you praise without end for what you have done; I will give honour to your name before your saints, for it is good. |
