Psalms - Chapter 52 | Good News Translation

  • 1. Why do you boast, great one, of your evil? God's faithfulness is eternal.
  • 2. You make plans to ruin others; your tongue is like a sharp razor. You are always inventing lies.
  • 3. You love evil more than good and falsehood more than truth.
  • 4. You love to hurt people with your words, you liar!
  • 5. So God will ruin you forever; he will take hold of you and snatch you from your home; he will remove you from the world of the living.
  • 6. Righteous people will see this and be afraid; then they will laugh at you and say,
  • 7. "Look, here is someone who did not depend on God for safety, but trusted instead in great wealth and looked for security in being wicked."
  • 8. But I am like an olive tree growing in the house of God; I trust in his constant love forever and ever.
  • 9. I will always thank you, God, for what you have done; in the presence of your people I will proclaim that you are good.
