Psalms 52:4-9

52:4

Thou lovest
<0157> (8804)

all devouring
<01105>

words
<01697>_,

O [thou] deceitful
<04820>

tongue
<03956>_.

{O thou...: or, and the deceitful tongue}

52:5

God
<0410>

shall likewise destroy
<05422> (8799)

thee for ever
<05331>_,

he shall take thee away
<02846> (8799)_,

and pluck thee out
<05255> (8799)

of [thy] dwelling place
<0168>_,

and root thee out
<08327> (8765)

of the land
<0776>

of the living
<02416>_.

Selah
<05542>_.

{destroy...: Heb. beat thee down}

52:6

The righteous
<06662>

also shall see
<07200> (8799)_,

and fear
<03372> (8799)_,

and shall laugh
<07832> (8799)

at him:

52:7

Lo, [this is] the man
<01397>

[that] made
<07760> (8799)

not God
<0430>

his strength
<04581>_;

but trusted
<0982> (8799)

in the abundance
<07230>

of his riches
<06239>_,

[and] strengthened
<05810> (8799)

himself in his wickedness
<01942>_.

{wickedness: or, substance}

52:8

But I [am] like a green
<07488>

olive tree
<02132>

in the house
<01004>

of God
<0430>_:

I trust
<0982> (8804)

in the mercy
<02617>

of God
<0430>

for ever
<05769>

and ever
<05703>_.

52:9

I will praise
<03034> (8686)

thee for ever
<05769>_,

because thou hast done
<06213> (8804)

[it]: and I will wait
<06960> (8762)

on thy name
<08034>_;

for [it is] good
<02896>

before thy saints
<02623>_.
