Psalms 52:1-8

Psalms 52:1-8 AMP

Why do you boast of evil, O mighty man? The lovingkindness of God endures all day long. Your tongue devises destruction, Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully. You love evil more than good, And falsehood more than speaking what is right. Selah. You love all words that devour, O deceitful tongue. ¶But God will break you down forever; He will take you away and tear you away from your tent, And uproot you from the land of the living. Selah. The righteous will see it and fear, And will [scoffingly] laugh, saying, “Look, [this is] the man who would not make God his strength [his stronghold and fortress], But trusted in the abundance of his riches, Taking refuge in his wealth.” ¶But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust [confidently] in the lovingkindness of God forever and ever.
