Psalm 52

¹ Why do you boast in evil, O mighty man? The loving-commitment of Ěl is all day long!

² Your tongue devises destruction, Like a sharp razor, working deceit.

³ You loved evil more than good, Lying more than speaking righteousness. Selah.

⁴ You loved all devouring words, O tongue of deceit.

⁵ Let Ěl also break you down forever, Take you and pluck you out of your tent. And He shall uproot you From the land of the living. Selah.

⁶ And let the righteous see and fear, And laugh at him, saying,

⁷ See the man who did not make Elohim his strength, But trusted in his many riches, Being strong in his destruction.

⁸ But I am like a green olive tree In the House of Elohim, I have trusted in the loving-commitment of Elohim Forever and ever.

⁹ I thank You forever, Because You have done it; And in the presence of Your lovingly-committed ones I wait on Your Name, for it is good.
