52:1  Why do you boast in evil, O mighty man? The lovingkindness of God {endures} all day long.

52:2  Your tongue devises destruction, Like a sharp razor, O worker of deceit.

52:3  You love evil more than good, Falsehood more than speaking what is right. Selah.

52:4  You love all words that devour, O deceitful tongue.

52:5  But God will break you down forever; He will snatch you up and tear you away from {your} tent, And uproot you from the land of the living. Selah.

52:6  The righteous will see and fear, And will laugh at him, {saying,}

52:7  "Behold, the man who would not make God his refuge, But trusted in the abundance of his riches {And} was strong in his {evil} desire."

52:8  But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in the lovingkindness of God forever and ever.

52:9  I will give You thanks forever, because You have done {it,} And I will wait on Your name, for {it is} good, in the presence of Your godly ones.
