Psalm 52

1. A poem song for the permanent collection. Written after Doeg (Fearful) reported to King Saul (asked for) that David (beloved) was being sheltered by Ahimelech (my brother is king). Why are you making such a fool of yourself and creating such a loud noice because you proudly think you are so strong? God is with US all of the time. 2 You imagine and calculating speak hammered out, sharp words to mislead, deceive and spread lies. 3 -4 What you really want to do is what hurts Jehovah, rather than to know what pleases Him. You would rather break a covenant than keep your promises to the Lord. Your tongue 'loves' to be crafty, treacherous and destructive. 5 The Mighty 'God with us' will destroy you - throw you away - from the land of the living. 6 - 7 His will family will watch and even laugh, saying "this person didn't trust in the Almighty God but felt safe in his riches and secure in his conniving 'plans'. 8 But in the spendor and brilliance of lighted oil in God's house I have confidence in the True God's mercy from now on. 9 I agree with You forever, God, for You put things in order. I will expectantly, joyfully wait for You - along with the rest of Your family who love You.
