Psalm 52:2-9

New American Standard Bible

²Your tongue devises ^(A)destruction,
Like a ^(B)sharp razor, ^(C)you worker of deceit.
³You ^(D)love evil more than good,
^(E)Lies more than speaking what is right. Selah
⁴You love all words that devour,
You ^(F)deceitful tongue.

⁵^[a]But God will break you down forever;
He will snatch you up and ^(G)tear you away from your tent,
And ^(H)uproot you from the ^(I)land of the living. Selah
⁶The righteous will ^(J)see and fear,
And they will ^(K)laugh at him, saying,
⁷“Behold, the man who would not make God his refuge,
But ^(L)trusted in the abundance of his riches
And ^(M)was strong in ^[b]his evil desire.”

⁸But as for me, I am like a ^(N)green olive tree in the house of God;
I ^(O)trust in the faithfulness of God forever and ever.
⁹I will ^(P)praise You forever, because You have done it,
And I will wait on Your name, ^(Q)for it is good, in the presence of Your godly ones.
