Psalms Chapter 52 / BBE

The Bible in Basic English
Psalms, Chapter 52

   1:    2: Purposing destruction, using deceit; your tongue is like a sharp blade.
   3: You have more love for evil than for good, for deceit than for works of righteousness. (Selah.)
   4: Destruction is in all your words, O false tongue.
   5: But God will put an end to you for ever; driving you out from your tent, uprooting you from the land of the living. (Selah.)
   6: The upright will see it with fear, and will say, laughing at you:
   7: See, this is the man who did not make God his strength, but had faith in his goods and his property, and made himself strong in his wealth.
   8: But I am like a branching olive-tree in the house of God; I have put my faith in his mercy for ever and ever.
   9: I will give you praise without end for what you have done; I will give honour to your name before your saints, for it is good.
