Psalms 52
- 1Why do you boast yourself in harm, O mighty man? The goodness of God endures continually.
- 2The tongue plans harm, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
- 3You love evil more than good. Lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.
- 4You love all devouring words, O you deceitful tongue.
- 5God shall likewise destroy you for ever, he shall take you away, and pluck you out of your home, and root you out of the land of the living. Selah.
- 6The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:
- 7This is the man who did not make God his strength. But he trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his evil.
- 8But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.
- 9I will praise you for ever, because you have done it: and I will wait on your name. For it is good before your saints.
