Psalm 52

Septuagint Bible w/ Apocrypha LXX

1 Why dost thou, O mighty man, boast of iniquity in thy mischief? All the day

2 thy tongue has devised unrighteousness; like a sharpened razor thou hast wrought deceit.

3 Thou hast loved wickedness more than goodness; unrighteousness better than to speak righteousness. Pause.

4 Thou has loved all words of destruction, and a deceitful tongue.

5 Therefore may God destroy thee for ever, may he pluck thee up and utterly remove thee from thy dwelling, and thy root from the land of the living. Pause.

6 And the righteous shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him, and say,

7 Behold the man who made not God his help; but trusted in the abundance of his wealth, and strengthened himself in his vanity.

8 But I am as a fruitful olive in the house of God: I have trusted in the mercy of God for ever, even for evermore.

9 I will give thanks to thee for ever, for thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name; for it is good before the saints.

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.
