Psalms 52:1

¹⁷But the LORD’s loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him, his righteousness to children’s children,

^1[+] Give thanks to the LORD, ^[+] for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.

⁴They pour out arrogant words. All the evildoers boast.

⁷Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the LORD; and his name was Doeg the Edomite, the best of the herdsmen who belonged to Saul.

¹⁴in whose heart is perverseness, who devises evil continually, who always sows discord.

¹By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down. Yes, we wept, when we remembered Zion. ²On the willows in that land, we hung up our harps.

⁴No one sues in righteousness, and no one pleads in truth. They trust in vanity and speak lies. They conceive mischief and give birth to iniquity.

⁸Cush became the father of Nimrod. He began to be a mighty one in the earth. ⁹He was a mighty hunter before the LORD. Therefore it is said, “like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the LORD”.

¹⁴Behold, ^[+] he travails with iniquity. Yes, he has conceived mischief, and brought out falsehood.

³The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit. He has ceased to be wise and to do good. ⁴He plots iniquity on his bed. He sets himself in a way that is not good. He doesn’t abhor evil. ⁵Your loving kindness, LORD, is in the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies. ⁶Your righteousness is like the mountains of God. Your judgments are like a great deep. LORD, you preserve man and animal.
