Psalms 52:1-7

1Why boastestH1984 thou thyself in mischiefH7451, O mightyH1368 man? the goodnessH2617 of GodH410 endureth continuallyH3117.1 2Thy tongueH3956 devisethH2803 mischiefsH1942; like a sharpH3913 razorH8593, workingH6213 deceitfullyH7423. 3Thou lovestH157 evilH7451 more than goodH2896; and lyingH8267 rather than to speakH1696 righteousnessH6664. SelahH5542. 4Thou lovestH157 all devouringH1105 wordsH1697, O thou deceitfulH4820 tongueH3956.2 5GodH410 shall likewise destroyH5422 thee for everH5331, he shall take thee awayH2846, and pluck thee outH5255 of thy dwelling placeH168, and root thee outH8327 of the landH776 of the livingH2416. SelahH5542.3

6The righteousH6662 also shall seeH7200, and fearH3372, and shall laughH7832 at him: 7Lo, this is the manH1397 that madeH7760 not GodH430 his strengthH4581; but trustedH982 in the abundanceH7230 of his richesH6239, and strengthenedH5810 himself in his wickednessH1942.4
