Psalm 52

1. 1

   You tyrant, why do you boast of wickedness *
   against the godly all day long?

2. 2

   You plot ruin; your tongue is like a sharpened razor, *
   O worker of deception.

3. 3

   You love evil more than good *
   and lying more than speaking the truth.

4. 4

   You love all words that hurt, *
   O you deceitful tongue.

5. 5

   Oh, that God would demolish you utterly, *
   topple you, and snatch you from your dwelling, and root you out of the land of the living!

6. 6

   The righteous shall see and tremble, *
   and they shall laugh at him, saying,

7. 7

   "This is the one who did not take God for a refuge, *
   but trusted in great wealth and relied upon wickedness."

8. 8

   But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; *
   I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.

9. 9

   I will give you thanks for what you have done *
   and declare the goodness of your Name in the presence of the godly.
