Psalm 52
9 verses · King James Version
1Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God continually.2Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp rasor, working deceitfully.3Thou lovest evil more than good; lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.4Thou lovest all devouring words, O deceitful tongue.5God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of dwelling place, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah.6The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:7Lo, the man made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, strengthened himself in his wickedness.8But I like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.9I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done and I will wait on thy name; for good before thy saints.
