PSALMS 52

1 You people think that you are strong and brag about the sins that you have committed, while you plan to harm godly people.
2 All during the day you plan to get rid of others; what you say [MTY] injures others like a sharp razor [SIM], and you are always deceiving others.
3 You like doing what is evil more than you like doing what is good, and you like telling lies more than you like telling the truth. (Think about that!)
4 You who say things [MTY] to deceive people, you like to say ◄things that hurt people/cruel things►!
5 But God will get rid of you forever; he will grab you and drag you from your home and take you away from this world where people are alive. (Think about that!)
6 When righteous people see that, they will be awestruck, and they will laugh at what happened to you, and say,
7 “Look what happened to the man who would not ask God to protect him; he trusted that his great wealth would save him; he trusted in the money that he got by wickedly taking it from others!”
8 But I am secure/safe because I worship in God’s temple; I am like a strong green olive tree. I trust in God, who faithfully loves us forever.
9 God, I will always thank you for the things that you have done. As I stand before godly people, I will proclaim that you are good (OR, the many good [MTY] things you have done for us).
