Psalms 52

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 Why do you brag about the evil you've done, you hero? The mercy of God lasts all day long!

2 Your tongue makes up threats. It's like a sharp razor, you master of deceit.

3 You prefer evil to good. You prefer lying to speaking the truth. Selah

4 You love every destructive accusation, you deceitful tongue!

5 But God will ruin you forever. He will grab you and drag you out of your tent. He will pull your roots out of this world of the living. Selah

6 Righteous people will see [this] and be struck with fear. They will laugh at you and say,

7 "Look at this person who refused to make God his fortress! Instead, he trusted his great wealth and became strong through his greed."

8 But I am like a large olive tree in God's house. I trust the mercy of God forever and ever.

9 I will give thanks to you forever for what you have done. In the presence of your godly people, I will wait with hope in your good name.

New International Version NIV

1 Why do you boast of evil, you mighty hero? Why do you boast all day long, you who are a disgrace in the eyes of God?

2 You who practice deceit, your tongue plots destruction; it is like a sharpened razor.

3 You love evil rather than good, falsehood rather than speaking the truth.

4 You love every harmful word, you deceitful tongue!

5 Surely God will bring you down to everlasting ruin: He will snatch you up and pluck you from your tent; he will uproot you from the land of the living.

6 The righteous will see and fear; they will laugh at you, saying,

7 “Here now is the man who did not make God his stronghold but trusted in his great wealth and grew strong by destroying others!”

8 But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in God’s unfailing love for ever and ever.

9 For what you have done I will always praise you in the presence of your faithful people. And I will hope in your name, for your name is good.
