Read Psalms chapter 52 (Contemporary English Version) on maBible, the Bible online. In this chapter: (A special psalm by David for the music leader. He wrote this when Doeg from Edom went to Saul and said, “David has gone to Ahimelech's house.”), God Is in Control.
1 You people may be strong and brag about your sins, but God can be trusted day after day.
2 You plan brutal crimes, and your lying words cut like a sharp razor.
3 You would rather do evil than good, and tell lies than speak the truth.
4 You love to say cruel things, and your words are a trap.
5 God will destroy you forever! He will grab you and drag you from your homes. You will be uprooted and left to die.
6 When good people see this fearsome sight, they will laugh and say,
7 “Just look at them now! Instead of trusting God, they trusted their wealth and their cruelty.”
8 But I am like an olive tree growing in God's house, and I can count on his love forever and ever.
9 I will always thank God for what he has done; I will praise his good name when his people meet.
