Psalm 52 - The Scriptures 1998

¹ Why do you boast in evil, O mighty man? The kindness of Ě

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 Ě

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 kindness of Elohim Forever and ever.

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