Psalm 52 (51)
God will destroy the wicked person.
3 Why boast of your wickedness, strong man? Why boast all day long
4 that you are plotting crimes?
Your tongue is like a sharp razor;
5 you love evil more than good, and falsehood more than truth.
6 You love words that inflict harm, O you deceitful tongue!
7 But God will bring you down forever; he will snatch you, tear you away from your tent; he will uproot you from the land of the living.
8 The good will know fear at the sight; they will say concerning his fate:
9 “See the one who would not rely on God, but trusted in riches and drew strength from wickedness.”
10 But I am as a green olive tree that thrives in the house of God: I trust in God’s unfailing love forever and ever.
11 I will praise you forever for all you have done, and proclaim your good name be fore the faithful ones.
