Psalms 52

   |   

(a)God's Judgment and Grace[a]

1 Why do you boast, great one, of your evil?
    God's faithfulness is eternal.
2 You make plans to ruin others;
    your tongue is like a sharp razor.
    You are always inventing lies.
3 You love evil more than good
    and falsehood more than truth.
4 You love to hurt people with your words, you liar!

5 So God will ruin you forever;
    he will take hold of you and snatch you from your home;
    he will remove you from the world of the living.
6 Righteous people will see this and be afraid;
    then they will laugh at you and say,
7 "Look, here is someone who did not depend on God for safety,
    but trusted instead in great wealth
    and looked for security in being wicked."

8 But I am like an olive tree growing in the house of God;
    I trust in his constant love forever and ever.
9 I will always thank you, God, for what you have done;
    in the presence of your people
    I will proclaim that you are good.
