Psalm 52
ESV Parallel CSB [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
English Standard VersionChristian Standard Bible
1Why do you boast of evil, O mighty man? The steadfast love of God endures all the day.1Why boast about evil, you hero! God's faithful love is constant.
2Your tongue plots destruction, like a sharp razor, you worker of deceit.2Like a sharpened razor, your tongue devises destruction, working treachery.
3You love evil more than good, and lying more than speaking what is right. Selah3You love evil instead of good, lying instead of speaking truthfully. Selah
4You love all words that devour, O deceitful tongue.4You love any words that destroy, you treacherous tongue!
5But God will break you down forever; he will snatch and tear you from your tent; he will uproot you from the land of the living. Selah5This is why God will bring you down forever. He will take you, ripping you out of your tent; he will uproot you from the land of the living. Selah
6The righteous shall see and fear, and shall laugh at him, saying,6The righteous will see and fear, and they will derisively say about that hero,
7“See the man who would not make God his refuge, but trusted in the abundance of his riches and sought refuge in his own destruction!”7"Here is the man who would not make God his refuge, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, taking refuge in his destructive behavior."
8But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God. I trust in the steadfast love of God forever and ever.8But I am like a flourishing olive tree in the house of God; I trust in God's faithful love forever and ever.
9I will thank you forever, because you have done it. I will wait for your name, for it is good, in the presence of the godly.9I will praise you forever for what you have done. In the presence of your faithful people, I will put my hope in your name, for it is good.
