Psalm 52
1
Why do you boast about your crimes, great warrior? Don’t you realize God’s justice continues forever?
2
All day long you plot destruction. Your tongue cuts like a sharp razor; you’re an expert at telling lies.
3
You love evil more than good and lies more than truth. Interlude
4
You love to destroy others with your words, you liar!
5
But God will strike you down once and for all. He will pull you from your home and uproot you from the land of the living. Interlude
6
The righteous will see it and be amazed. They will laugh and say,
7
“Look what happens to mighty warriors who do not trust in God. They trust their wealth instead and grow more and more bold in their wickedness.”
8
But I am like an olive tree, thriving in the house of God. I will always trust in God’s unfailing love.
9
I will praise you forever, O God, for what you have done. I will trust in your good name in the presence of your faithful people.
