Psalm 52

God’s Judgment and Grace

1 Why do you boast, great one, of your evil?

God’s faithfulness is eternal.

2 You make plans to ruin others;

your tongue is like a sharp razor.

You are always inventing lies.

3 You love evil more than good

and falsehood more than truth.

4 You love to hurt people with your words, you liar!

5 So God will ruin you forever;

he will take hold of you and snatch you from your home;

he will remove you from the world of the living.

6 Righteous people will see this and be afraid;

then they will laugh at you and say,

7 “Look, here is someone who did not depend on God for safety,

but trusted instead in great wealth

and looked for security in being wicked.”

8 But I am like an olive tree growing in the house of God;

I trust in his constant love forever and ever.

9 I will always thank you, God, for what you have done;

in the presence of your people

I will proclaim that you are good.
