Here is the entire text of Psalm 52 from the NIV translation.

Psalm 52

For the director of music. A maskil b of David.
When Doeg the Edomite had gone to Saul and
told him: "David has gone to the house of
Ahimelek."

*1 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?

2 You who practice deceit,
your tongue plots destruction;
it is like a sharpened razor.


3 You love evil rather than good,
falsehood rather than speaking the truth. c
4 You love every harmful word,
you deceitful tongue!

5 Surely God will bring you down to
everlasting ruin:
He will snatch you up and pluck you from
your tent;
he will uproot you from the land of the
living.

6 The righteous will see and fear;
they will laugh at you, saying,
7 "Here now is the one
who did not make God his stronghold
but trusted in his great wealth
and grew strong by destroying others!"

8 But I am like an olive tree
flourishing in the house of God;
I trust in God's unfailing love
for ever and ever.
9 For what you have done I will always praise
you
in the presence of your faithful people.
And I will hope in your name,
for your name is good.

Love and Blessings,
