Psalms 52

Lexham English Bible LEB

1 Why do you boast about evil, O mighty man? The loyal love of God [endures] {continually}.

2 Your tongue plans destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceit.

3 You love evil more than good, a lie more than speaking {what is right}. Selah

4 You love all devouring words, O deceitful tongue,

5 but God will pull you down forever. He will snatch you and tear you away from [your] tent, and [he] will uproot you from [the] land of [the] living. Selah

6 And [the] righteous will see and fear, and will laugh at him, [saying],

7 "Look, the man [who] would not make God his refuge, but he trusted in the greatness of his wealth; he took refuge in his destructiveness."

8 But I [am] like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God. I trust the loyal love of God forever and ever.

9 I will give thanks to you forever, because [of what] you have done, and I will wait on your name, because [it is] good, in the presence of your faithful ones.

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.
