# Psalm 52 [[Ps-51|← Psalm 51]] | [[Psalm]] | [[Ps-53|Psalm 53 →]] *** ###### v1 Why do you boast of mischief, mighty man? God's loving kindness endures continually. ###### v2 Your tongue plots destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully. ###### v3 You love evil more than good, lying rather than speaking the truth. Selah. ###### v4 You love all devouring words, you deceitful tongue. ###### v5 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. ###### v6 The righteous also will see it, and fear, and laugh at him, saying, ###### v7 "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." ###### v8 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. ###### v9 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. *** [[Ps-51|← Psalm 51]] | [[Psalm]] | [[Ps-53|Psalm 53 →]]
