Psalms 52:1-4

¹To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid to giue instruction. When Doeg the Edomite came and shewed Saul, and saide to him, Dauid is come to the house of Abimelech. Why boastest thou thy selfe in thy wickednesse, O man of power? the louing kindenesse of God indureth dayly.

²Thy tongue imagineth mischiefe, and is like a sharpe rasor, that cutteth deceitfully.

³Thou doest loue euill more then good, and lies more then to speake the trueth. Selah.

⁴Thou louest all wordes that may destroye, O deceitfull tongue!
