Psalm 52

Vers 1

Why dost thou boast, O mighty man,
of mischief and of ill?
The goodness of Almighty God
endureth ever still.

Vers 2

Thy tongue mischievous calumnies
deviseth subtilely,
Like to a razor sharp to cut,
working deceitfully.

Vers 3

Ill more than good, and more than truth
thou lovest to speak wrong:
Thou lovest all-devouring words,
O thou deceitful tongue.

Vers 4

So God shall thee destroy for aye,
remove thee, pluck thee out
Quite from thy house, out of the land
of life he shall thee root.

Vers 5

The righteous shall it see, and fear,
and laugh at him they shall:
Lo, this the man is that did not
make God his strength at all:

Vers 6

But he in his abundant wealth
his confidence did place;
And he took strength unto himself
from his own wickedness.

Vers 7

But I am in the house of God
like to an olive green:
My confidence for ever hath
upon God’s mercy been.

Vers 8

And I for ever will thee praise,
because thou hast done this:
I on thy name will wait; for good
before thy saints it is.
