Psalm 52:1-9 CEV

[1] You people may be strong and brag about your sins, but God can be trusted day after day. [2] You plan brutal crimes, and your lying words cut like a sharp razor. [3] You would rather do evil than good, and tell lies than speak the truth. [4] You love to say cruel things, and your words are a trap. [5] God will destroy you forever! He will grab you and drag you from your homes. You will be uprooted and left to die. [6] When good people see this fearsome sight, they will laugh and say, [7] "Just look at them now! Instead of trusting God, they trusted their wealth and their cruelty." [8] But I am like an olive tree growing in God's house, and I can count on his love forever and ever. [9] I will always thank God for what he has done; I will praise his good name when his people meet.
