Psalms 52: The Boaster and the Olive Tree

Written when Doeg the Edomite reported to Saul that David had visited Ahimelech, this psalm confronts a powerful man who boasts in evil and uses his tongue to destroy. God will uproot him for trusting in riches, while David, like a thriving olive tree in God's house, trusts God's loving devotion.
