52:1 > Why do you boast of mischief, mighty man? God's loving kindness endures continually.
52:2 Your tongue plots destruction, Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
52:3 You love evil more than good, Lying rather than speaking the truth. Selah.
52:4 You love all devouring words, You deceitful tongue.
52:5 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.
52:6 The righteous also will see it, and fear, And laugh at him, saying,
52:7 "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."
52:8 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.
52:9 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.
