Psalms 52
1WHY boastest thou in mischief, O mighty man of iniquity? All the day long he devised injustice.
2Thy tongue is like a sharp razor: thou hast practised deceit.
3Thou hast loved evil more than good—lying more than speaking the truth.
4Thou hast loved all the decrees of destruction—a tongue practised in deceit.
5For this cause God will utterly destroy thee—tear thee up and hurl thee from thy dwelling; even thy rooted stock out of the land of the living.
6The righteous will see indeed and be afraid. And they will laugh at him and say,
7Behold the man who made not God his strength: and trusted in the abundance of his wealth; and strengthened himself in his vanity!
8As for me, I shall be like a fruitful olive tree in the house of God. I have trusted in the mercy of God for this age and for the age of the ages.
9I will praise Thee for this age because Thou hast made it; and wait for Thy name, because it is good in the sight of Thy saints.
