Verse 1 is found in chapter 52 of Psalms. Psalm 52 denounces the destructive use of the tongue and arrogant trust in riches. The adversary boasts in deceit and violence, but the psalmist contrasts this behavior with the image of a green olive tree in God’s house. The difference is not merely wealth or poverty, but where trust is placed. The conclusion promises to publicly remember divine goodness in contrast to the apparent security of the wicked.

Au chef des chantres. Cantique de David. A l'occasion du rapport que Doëg, l'Edomite, vint faire à Saül, en lui disant: David s'est rendu dans la maison d'Achimélec. Pourquoi te glorifies-tu de ta méchanceté, tyran? La bonté de Dieu subsiste toujours.
Salmo di Davide, dato al capo de’ Musici; intorno a ciò che Doeg Idumeo era venuto a rapportare a Saulle che Davide era entrato in casa di Ahimelec. O POSSENTE uomo, perchè ti glorii del male? La benignità del Signore dura sempre.
POR que te glorias na malícia, ó homem poderoso? Pois a bondade de Deus permanece continuamente.
勇士啊,你為何作惡自誇? 上帝的慈愛是常存的。
