AMP ▾Psalms ▾52 ▾Psalms 521Why do you boast of evil, O mighty man? The lovingkindness of God endures all day long.2Your tongue devises destruction, Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.3You love evil more than good, And falsehood more than speaking what is right. Selah.4You love all words that devour, O deceitful tongue.5¶But God will break you down forever; He will take you away and tear you away from your tent, And uproot you from the land of the living. Selah.6The righteous will see it and fear, And will [scoffingly] laugh, saying,7“Look, [this is] the man who would not make God his strength [his stronghold and fortress], But trusted in the abundance of his riches, Taking refuge in his wealth.”8¶But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust [confidently] in the lovingkindness of God forever and ever.9I will thank You forever, because You have done it, [You have rescued me and kept me safe]. I will wait on Your name, for it is good, in the presence of Your godly ones.Psalms 51Psalms 53
