←Prev   Psalms 52 as rendered by/in  Next→ 



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.
