Psalms 52 David foretells the ruin of the wicked, and trusts in God

 Psalms 52

David foretells the ruin of the wicked, and trusts in God

1 Why do you boast in evil, O mighty man? For the goodness of God endures forever.

2 Your tongue devises evil like a sharp razor, devising deceit.

3 You love evil rather than good, and lies rather than speaking righteously.

4 You love all devouring words, O deceitful tongue.

5 God will also destroy you forever; he will tear you away and uproot you from your dwelling place, and uproot you from the land of the living.

6 The righteous will see it and fear, and will laugh at him.

7 Behold the man who did not make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.

8 But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in the mercy of God forever, forever and ever.

9 I will praise you forever, because you have done this, and I will wait for your name, because it is good in the sight of your saints.
