Psalm 52 :: New English Translation (NET)

Psa 52:1Why do you boast about your evil plans, O powerful man? God's loyal love protects me all day long!
Psa 52:2Your tongue carries out your destructive plans; it is as effective as a sharp razor, O deceiver.
Psa 52:3You love evil more than good, lies more than speaking the truth. (Selah)
Psa 52:4You love to use all the words that destroy, and the tongue that deceives.
Psa 52:5Yet God will make you a permanent heap of ruins. He will scoop you up and remove you from your home; he will uproot you from the land of the living. (Selah)
Psa 52:6When the godly see this, they will be filled with awe, and will mock the evildoer, saying:
Psa 52:7"Look, here is the man who would not make God his protector! He trusted in his great wealth and was confident about his plans to destroy others."
Psa 52:8But I am like a flourishing olive tree in the house of God; I continually trust in God's loyal love.
Psa 52:9I will continually thank you when you execute judgment; I will rely on you, for your loyal followers know you are good.
