52:1 Why do you make evil the foundation of your boasting, mighty one? God's gracious love never ceases.
52:2 Your tongue, like a sharp razor, devises wicked things and crafts treachery.
52:3 You love evil rather than good, falsehood rather than speaking uprightly. Interlude
52:4 You love all words that destroy, you deceitful tongue!
52:5 But God will tear you down forever; he will take you away, even snatching you out of your tent! He will uproot you from the land of the living. Interlude
52:6 The righteous will fear when they see this, but then they will laugh at him, saying,
52:7 "Look, here is a young man who refused to make God his strength; instead, he trusted in his great wealth and made his wickedness his strength.
52:8 But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in the gracious love of God forever and ever.
52:9 Therefore I will praise you forever because of what you did; I will proclaim that your name is good in the midst of your faithful ones.
