AB - Psalms - 52

52:1  Why do you, O mighty man, boast of iniquity in your mischief? All the day

52:2  your tongue has devised unrighteousness; like a sharpened razor you have worked deceit.

52:3  You have loved wickedness more than goodness; unrighteousness better than to speak righteousness. Pause.

52:4  You have loved all words of destruction, and a deceitful tongue.

52:5  Therefore may God destroy you forever, may He pluck you up and utterly remove you from your dwelling, and your root from the land of the living. Pause.

52:6  And the righteous shall see and fear, and shall laugh at him, and say,

52:7  Behold, the man who made not God his help; but trusted in the abundance of his wealth, and strengthened himself in his vanity.

52:8  But I am as a fruitful olive in the house of God; I have trusted in the mercy of God forever, even forevermore.

52:9  I will give thanks to You forever, for You have done it; and I will wait on Your name; for it is good before the saints.
