Chapter 52

1

Why do you boast of mischief, mighty man? God`s lovingkindness endures continually.

2

Your tongue plots destruction, Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

3

You love evil more than good, Lying rather than speaking the truth. Selah.

4

You love all devouring words, You deceitful tongue.

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.

6

The righteous also will see it, and fear, And laugh at him, saying,

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."

8

But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in God`s house. I trust in God`s lovingkindness forever and ever.

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. Psalm 53 For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "Mahalath." A contemplation by David.
