Psalms 52

1Why do you boast of evil, mighty man?
The steadfast love of God endures all the day. 2Your tongue plots destruction,
like a sharp razor, you worker of deceit. 3You love evil more than good,
falsehood more than speaking righteousness.
Selah 4You love all words that devour,
O deceitful tongue.

5Yet God will break you down forever;
he will snatch and tear you from your tent,
he will uproot you from the land of the living.
Selah

6The righteous will see and fear;
they will laugh at him, saying, 7"See the man who would not make God his refuge,
but trusted in the abundance of his riches
and strengthened himself in his destruction."

8Yet I am like a green olive tree
in the house of God.
I trust in the steadfast love of God
forever and ever. 9I will thank you forever,
because you have done it.
I will wait for your name,
for it is good, in the presence of your faithful ones.
