Context of Psalms 52:6

4Thou hast loved all devouring words, O deceitful tongue! 5God shall likewise destroy thee for ever; he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of [thy] tent, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah. The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him, [saying,] 7Behold the man that made not God his strength, but put confidence in the abundance of his riches, [and] strengthened himself in his avarice. 8But as for me, I am like a green olive-tree in the house of God: I will confide in the loving-kindness of God for ever and ever.
