Psalms 52:3 Context
1[To the chiefe Musician, Maschil, A Psalme of Dauid: When Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said vnto him, Dauid is come to the house of Ahimelech.] Why boastest thou thy selfe in mischiefe, O mightie man? the goodnesse of God indureth continually. 2Thy tongue deuiseth mischiefes: like a sharpe rasor, working deceitfully. 3Thou louest euill more then good; and lying rather then to speake righteousnesse. Selah. 4Thou louest all deuouring words, O thou deceitfull tongue. 5God shall likewise destroy thee for euer, hee shall take thee away and plucke thee out of thy dwelling place, and roote thee out of the land of the liuing. Selah.
