Psalm 52:1-9 (New Revised Standard)
1
Why do you boast, O mighty one, of mischief done against the godly? a All day long
2
you are plotting destruction. Your tongue is like a sharp razor, you worker of treachery.
3
You love evil more than good, and lying more than speaking the truth. (Selah)
4
You love all words that devour, O deceitful tongue.
5
But 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)
6
The righteous will see, and fear, and will laugh at the evildoer, b saying,
7
"See the one who would not take refuge in God, but trusted in abundant riches, and sought refuge in wealth!" c
8
But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God. I trust in the steadfast love of God forever and ever.
9
I will thank you forever, because of what you have done. In the presence of the faithful I will proclaim d your name, for it is good.
