Chapter 52
1 Why do you boast of mischief, mighty man? God’s loving kindness endures continually.
2 Your tongue plots destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
3 You love evil more than good , lying rather than speaking the truth. Selah.
4 You love all devouring words, you deceitful tongue .
5 God will likewise destroy you forever. He will take you up, and pluck you out of your tent, and root you out of the land of the living. Selah .
6 The righteous also will see it , and fear, and laugh at him , saying ,
7 "Behold, this is the man who didn’t make God his strength , but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness."
8 But as for me , I am like a green olive tree in God’s house. I trust in God’s loving kindness forever and ever.
9 I will give you thanks forever, because you have done it . I will hope in your name, for it is good, in the presence of your saints.
