Psalm 52 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Your tongue ^H3956 devises ^H2803 destruction ^H1942,

Like a sharp ^H3913 razor ^H8593, O worker ^H6213 of deceit ^H7423.

You love ^H157 evil ^H7451 more ^H4480 than ^H4480 good ^H2896,

Falsehood ^H8267 more ^H4480 than ^H4480 speaking ^H1696 what ^H6664 is ^H6664 right ^H6664. [fn]Selah ^H5542.

You love ^H157 all ^H3605 words ^H1697 that devour ^H1105,

O deceitful ^H4820 tongue ^H3956.

[fn]But God ^H410 will break ^H5422 you down ^H5422 forever ^H5331;

He will snatch ^H2846 you up ^H2846 and tear ^H5255 you away ^H5255 from your tent ^H168,

And uproot ^H8327 you from the land ^H776 of the living ^H2416, Selah ^H5542.

So that the righteous ^H6662 will see ^H7200 and fear ^H3372,

And will laugh ^H7832 at him, saying,

“Behold ^H2009, the man ^H1397 who would not set ^H7760 God ^H430 as his strength ^H4581,

But trusted ^H982 in the abundance ^H7230 of his riches ^H6239

And was ^H5810 strong ^H5810 in his destruction ^H1942.”

But as for me, I am like a green ^H7488 olive ^H2132 tree ^H2132 in the house ^H1004 of God ^H430;

I trust ^H982 in the lovingkindness ^H2617 of God ^H430 forever ^H5769 and ever ^H5703.

I will give ^H3034 You thanks ^H3034 forever ^H5769, because ^H3588 You have done ^H6213 it,

And I will hope ^H6960 on Your name ^H8034, for it is good ^H2896, in the presence ^H5048 of Your holy ^H2623 ones ^H2623.
