Psalms 52

¹Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man?

²Thy tongue deviseth very wickedness,

³Thou lovest evil more than good,

⁴Thou lovest all devouring words,

⁵God will likewise destroy thee for ever;

⁶The righteous also shall see it, and fear,

⁷Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength,

⁸But as for me, I am like a green olive-tree in the house of God:

⁹I will give thee thanks for ever, because thou hast done it;
