Psalm 52 (TRV)
From Textus Receptus
- 1 Why do you boast of yourself in wickedness, O mighty man? The goodness of God endures continually.
- 2 Your tongue devises wickedness, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
- 3 You love evil more than good, and lying rather than speaking righteousness. Selah
- 4 You love all devouring words, O You deceitful tongue.
- 5 God will likewise destroy you forever; He will take you away, and pluck you out of your dwelling place, and uproot you from the land of the living. Selah
- 6 The righteous also will see, and have reverence, and will laugh at him,
- 7 “Behold, this is the man who did not make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.”
- 8 But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever.
- 9 I will praise You forever, because You have done it; and I will wait on Your name because it is good before Your saints.
