Psalms 52
Reading Psalms chapter 52 in the Darby Bible, public-domain text from 1890.
Verses 1–9
1 Why boastest thou thyself in evil, thou mighty man? The loving-kindness ofGod [abideth] continually.
2 Thy tongue deviseth mischievous things, like a sharp razor, practising deceit.
3 Thou hast loved evil rather than good, lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.
4 Thou hast loved all devouring words, O deceitful tongue!
5 God shall likewise destroy thee for ever; he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of [thy] tent, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah.
6 The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him, [saying,]
7 Behold the man that made notGod his strength, but put confidence in the abundance of his riches, [and] strengthened himself in his avarice.
8 But as for me, I am like a green olive-tree in the house ofGod: I will confide in the loving-kindness ofGod for ever and ever.
9 I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done [it]; and I will wait on thy name, before thygodly ones, for it is good.
