Why boastest thou thyself
in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God [endureth]
continually.
52:2
Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working
deceitfully.
52:3
Thou lovest evil more than good; [and] lying rather than to
speak righteousness. Selah.
52:4
Thou lovest all devouring words, O [thou] deceitful tongue.
52:5
God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take
thee away, and pluck thee out of [thy] dwelling place, and root
thee out of the land of the living. Selah.
52:6
The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at
him:
52:7
Lo, [this is] the man [that] made not God his strength; but
trusted in the abundance of his riches, [and] strengthened
himself in his wickedness.
52:8
But I [am] like a green olive tree in the house of God: I
trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.
52:9
I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done [it]:
and I will wait on thy name; for [it is] good before thy
saints.
