The room of the wicked

Psalm 52:1-9
The mighty man boast all day long, boast of evil, plots destruction, who love falsehood rather than speaking the truth. God will bring the evil man down to everlasting ruin.
I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God;I trust in God's unfailing love for ever and ever.
The Hebrew title says this is a psalm by David at the time of Doeg's betrayal.
But the reference to the Temple in verse 8 would seem to make it later.
Why?
What I am boast? I boast God only, without him I can do nothing.
May I be like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God, trust him and love his word, obey his law forever.
How?
Be humble and trust in the Lord's unfailing love.
