Psalms 52

YAH Rips Out Criminals' Lying, Greedy Tongues1

Why do you brag about your evil [deeds], mighty man [of shame]? [You spit on] El's kindness all day long!
A maskil [instructional song] written by king David. This is an advanced piece for Jerusalem's head music arranger to direct. The lyrics are inspired by David's rage when Doeg the murderous Edomite slithered to king Saul and ratted out David's location, saying, 'David fled to Ahimelech's sanctuary.' (See 1Sa 21.)

Your tongue weaves atrocities. Like a sharp razor, it crafts treachery.

You love evil more than good. [You'd] rather lie than speak [what's] right. Selah {Dramatic-Break}.

You love all devouring words, you flicking snake-tongue.

So El {Power} comes to tear you down forever. He [soon] cracks you [to bits] and sweeps you away. He plucks you out of your home. He roots you out of the land of the living. Selah {Dramatic-Break}.

The right-walking people watch the [liar fall], 😇. Astonished, they laugh at him:

“Look, 😇! This [bloody piece of meat] is the big-shot who refused to make Elohim his stronghold. [The liar] ran-for-refuge in his overflowing [material] wealth. He got strong by rushing in [to pillage weak people].”
Today such liars pillage through the criminal industries called: insurance, medicine, 'law', religion, atheistic education, ‘defense’, politics, etc.

Meanwhile, I flourish [spiritually] like a green olive tree in Elohim's sanctuary, 😇. I run-for-refuge by [hugging] Elohim's neck, [as I'll do] for ages into eternity.

[YHVH], I'll keep on praising you for eon[s], [thanking you] for everything you do. I'll bind-together [with] your kind-ones, [awaiting] your wondrous honor.
