The righteous shall (A)see and fear,
    and shall (B)laugh at him, saying,
“See the man who would not make
    God his refuge,
but (C)trusted in the abundance of his riches
    and sought refuge in his own destruction!”[a]

But I am like (D)a green olive tree
    in the house of God.
I trust in the steadfast love of God
    forever and ever.

  1. Psalm 52:7 Or in his work of destruction

The righteous will see and fear;
    they will laugh(A) at you, saying,
“Here now is the man
    who did not make God his stronghold(B)
but trusted in his great wealth(C)
    and grew strong by destroying others!”

But I am like an olive tree(D)
    flourishing in the house of God;
I trust(E) in God’s unfailing love
    for ever and ever.
