Psalm 52

New Revised Standard NRS

1 Why do you boast, O mighty one, of mischief done against the godly? 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, saying,

7 "See the one who would not take refuge in God, but trusted in abundant riches, and sought refuge in wealth!"

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 your name, for it is good.

The Message Bible MSG

1 Why do you brag of evil, "Big Man"? God's mercy carries the day.

2 You scheme catastrophe; your tongue cuts razor-sharp, artisan in lies.

3 You love evil more than good, you call black white.

4 You love malicious gossip, you foul-mouth.

5 God will tear you limb from limb, sweep you up and throw you out, Pull you up by the roots from the land of life.

6 Good people will watch and worship. They'll laugh in relief:

7 "Big Man bet on the wrong horse, trusted in big money, made his living from catastrophe."

8 And I'm an olive tree, growing green in God's house. I trusted in the generous mercy of God then and now.

9 I thank you always that you went into action. And I'll stay right here, your good name my hope, in company with your faithful friends.
