Psalms 52
American Standard Version
1. Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? The lovingkindness of God continually.
2Thy tongue deviseth very wickedness, Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
3Thou lovest evil more than good, And lying rather than to speak righteousness. {{Selah
4Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.
5God will likewise destroy thee for ever; He will take thee up, and pluck thee out of thy tent, And root thee out of the land of the living. {{Selah
6The righteous also shall see , and fear, And shall laugh at him, ,
7Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength, But trusted in the abundance of his riches, And strengthened himself in his wickedness.
8But as for me, I am like a green olive-tree in the house of God: I trust in the lovingkindness of God for ever and ever.
9I will give thee thanks for ever, because thou hast done it; And I will hope in thy name, for it is good, in the presence of thy saints.
