Psalm 52:5

New Catholic Bible

⁵^[a]You love evil rather than good,
and lies rather than truthful speech. Selah

Footnotes

Psalm 52:5 The values of the wicked are distorted. He loves to think, speak, and do evil whenever he can profit from it (see v. 5; Mic 3:2). His entire being reflects the evil that is associated with the tongue (see Ps 120:2; Jas 3:1-12).
