Psalms 52

MLV(i) 1 Why boast you yourself in mischief, O mighty man? The loving kindness of God is continual. 2 Your tongue devises wickedness, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
3 You love evil more than good and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah. 4 You love all devouring words, O you deceitful tongue.
5 God will likewise destroy you forever. He will take you up and pluck you out of your tent and root you out of the land of the living. Selah.
6 The righteous also will see and fear and will laugh at him, saying, 7 Behold, this is the man who did not make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches and strengthened himself in his wickedness.
8 But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in the house of God. I trust in the loving kindness of God everlasting and forever. 9 I will give you thanks everlasting, because you have done it. And I will hope in your name in the presence of your holy ones, because it is good.
