I've noticed Psalm 52:2, a glorious Psalm I might add, has the word
"Havvah"{hav-vaw'} in as the word for "Mischief" or "evil." Is this in any
way related to Chavvah {khav-vaw'} who just happens to be Eve in
Beresheit(Genesis)? 

Psa 52:1 To the chief Musician, Maschil, [A Psalm] of David, when Doeg the
Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David is come to the house
of Ahimelech.]] Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the
goodness of God [endureth] continually. 

Psa 52:2 Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working
deceitfully. 

Psa 52:3 Thou lovest evil more than good; [and] lying rather than
to speak righteousness. Selah. 
Psa 52:4 Thou lovest all devouring words, O [thou] deceitful tongue. 
Psa 52:5 God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee
away, and pluck thee out of [thy] dwelling place, and root thee out of the
land of the living. Selah. 
Psa 52:6 The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him: 
Psa 52:7 Lo, [this is] the man [that] made not God his strength;
but trusted in the abundance of his riches, [and] strengthened himself in
his wickedness. 
Psa 52:8 But I [am] like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust
in the mercy of God for ever and ever. 
Psa 52:9 I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done [it]: and I
will wait on thy name; for [it is] good before thy saints.
