Psalms 52:6

JusticeFear

4 You love every word that devours, O deceitful tongue.

5 Surely God will bring you down to everlasting ruin; He will snatch you up and tear you away from your tent; He will uproot you from the land of the living. Selah

The righteous will see and fear; they will mock the evildoer, saying,

7 “Look at the man who did not make God his refuge, but trusted in the abundance of his wealth and strengthened himself by destruction.”

8 But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in the loving devotion of God forever and ever.
