Psalms

Chapter - 52

1Why boastest you thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth continually.
2The tongue deviseth mischiefs; 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 you deceitful tongue.
5God shall likewise destroy you for ever, he shall take you away, and pluck you out of thy dwelling place, and root you 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 I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.
9I will praise you for ever, because you have done it: and I will wait on thy name; for it is good before thy saints.
