Psalm 52
To the
chief Musician, Maschil, A Psalm of David
1 Why
boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the
goodness of God endureth continually.
2 Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp rasor,
working deceitfully.
3 Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather
than to speak righteousness. Selah.
4 Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful
tongue.
5 God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall
take thee away, and pluck thee out of thy dwelling
place, and root thee out of the land of the living.
Selah.
6 The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall
laugh at him:
7 Lo, this is the man that made not 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 for ever and ever.
9 I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast
done it: and I will wait on thy name; for it is good
before thy saints.
