[00:00:04] Psalm 52 To the Chief Musician A skillful song, or a didactic or reflective poem. A Psalm of David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, David has come to the house of Ahimelech. Why do you boast of evil, O mighty man?
[00:00:30] The loving kindness of God endures all day long. Your tongue devises destruction, like a sharp razor working deceitfully. You love evil more than good, and falsehood more than speaking what is right. Selah You love all words that devour, O deceitful tongue.
[00:00:59] But God will break you down forever. He will take you away, and tear you away from your tent, and uproot you from the land of the living. Selah The righteous will see it and fear, and will scoffingly laugh, saying,
[00:01:22] Look, this is the man who would not make God his strength, his stronghold and fortress, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, taking refuge in his wealth. But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in the house of God. I trust confidently in the loving kindness of God forever and ever.
[00:01:48] I will thank you forever, because you have done it. You have rescued me and kept me safe. I will wait on your name, for it is good in the presence of your godly ones. Thank you for tuning in to the The Audio Bible Podcast today. This has been Psalm chapter 52 from the Word of God.
