Psalms 52:1-4
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 52
1Why do you boast in evil, you mighty man? The faithfulness of God endures all day long. 2Your tongue devises destruction, Like a sharp razor, you worker of deceit. 3You love evil more than good, Lies more than speaking what is right. Selah 4You love all words that devour, You deceitful tongue.King James Version
Chapter 52
1{To the chief Musician, Maschil, A Psalm of David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David is come to the house of Ahimelech.} Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth continually. 2Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp rasor, working deceitfully. 3Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah. 4Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.Christian Standard Bible

1For the director of music. A maskil of David. When Doeg the Edomite had gone to Saul and told him: 'David has gone to the house of Ahimelek.' Why do you boast of evil, you mighty hero? Why do you boast all day long, you who are a disgrace in the eyes of God? 2You who practice deceit, your tongue plots destruction; it is like a sharpened razor. 3You love evil rather than good, falsehood rather than speaking the truth.New King James Version
