Psalms 52:1

Israel will be saved by Yahweh with an everlasting salvation. You will not be disappointed nor confounded to ages everlasting.

How sweet are your promises to my taste, more than honey to my mouth!

Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.

Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand on the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers;

I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people will be satisfied with my goodness,” says Yahweh.

My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food. My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,

“Blessed is the man who trusts in Yahweh, and whose confidence is in Yahweh.

Give sincere homage to the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish on the way, for his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.

Everyone lies to his neighbor. They speak with flattering lips, and with a double heart.

Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.

His mouth was smooth as butter, but his heart was war. His words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.

“Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.”

These are murmurers and complainers, walking after their lusts—and their mouth speaks proud things—showing respect of persons to gain advantage.

Yahweh saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of man’s heart was continually only evil.

When he had taken counsel with the people, he appointed those who were to sing to Yahweh, and give praise in holy array, as they go out before the army, and say, “Give thanks to Yahweh; for his loving kindness endures forever.”

They sang to one another in praising and giving thanks to Yahweh, “For he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever toward Israel.” All the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised Yahweh, because the foundation of Yahweh’s house had been laid.

Let him not trust in emptiness, deceiving himself; for emptiness will be his reward.

Don’t gather my soul with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men;

God, the proud have risen up against me. A company of violent men have sought after my soul, and they don’t hold regard for you before them.

Praise Yahweh! Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.

for their hearts plot violence and their lips talk about mischief.

When his speech is charming, don’t believe him, for there are seven abominations in his heart.

Your boasting is not good. Don’t you know that a little yeast leavens the whole lump?

If there is a controversy between men, and they come to judgment and the judges judge them, then they shall justify the righteous and condemn the wicked.

Then Doeg the Edomite, who stood by the servants of Saul, answered and said, “I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.

They conceive mischief, and produce iniquity. Their heart prepares deceit.”

Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in Yahweh’s house forever.

Let the lying lips be mute, which speak against the righteous insolently, with pride and contempt.

How precious is your loving kindness, God! The children of men take refuge under the shadow of your wings.

“You give your mouth to evil. Your tongue frames deceit.

My soul is among lions. I lie among those who are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.

They fully intend to throw him down from his lofty place. They delight in lies. They bless with their mouth, but they curse inwardly.

They pour out arrogant words. All the evildoers boast.

Blessed is everyone who fears Yahweh, who walks in his ways.

for their feet run to evil. They hurry to shed blood.

a false witness who utters lies, and he who sows discord among brothers.

Your princes are rebellious and companions of thieves. Everyone loves bribes and follows after rewards. They don’t defend the fatherless, neither does the cause of the widow come to them.

You will conceive chaff. You will give birth to stubble. Your breath is a fire that will devour you.

Yahweh appeared of old to me, saying, “Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love. Therefore I have drawn you with loving kindness.

the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those who say, ‘Give thanks to Yahweh of Armies, for Yahweh is good, for his loving kindness endures forever;’ who bring thanksgiving into Yahweh’s house. For I will cause the captivity of the land to be reversed as at the first,” says Yahweh.

Woe to those who devise iniquity and work evil on their beds! When the morning is light, they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand.

Yahweh says concerning the prophets who lead my people astray; for those who feed their teeth, they proclaim, “Peace!” and whoever doesn’t provide for their mouths, they prepare war against him:

Then he will say also to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels;

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

For they all seek their own, not the things of Jesus Christ.

Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin. The sin, when it is full grown, produces death.

and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.

“You shall not blaspheme God, nor curse a ruler of your people.

Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before Yahweh; and his name was Doeg the Edomite, the best of the herdsmen who belonged to Saul.

“Though wickedness is sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue,

He says in his heart, “God has forgotten. He hides his face. He will never see it.”

But you do see trouble and grief. You consider it to take it into your hand. You help the victim and the fatherless.

Don’t draw me away with the wicked, with the workers of iniquity who speak peace with their neighbors, but mischief is in their hearts.

A revelation is within my heart about the disobedience of the wicked: “There is no fear of God before his eyes.”

He plots iniquity on his bed. He sets himself in a way that is not good. He doesn’t abhor evil.

They plot injustice, saying, “We have made a perfect plan!” Surely man’s mind and heart are cunning.

Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.

The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouth of fools gush out folly.

“They bend their tongue, as their bow, for falsehood. They have grown strong in the land, but not for truth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they don’t know me,” says Yahweh.

Some of those who are wise will fall, to refine them, and to purify, and to make them white, even to the time of the end; because it is yet for the time appointed.

Her leaders judge for bribes, and her priests teach for a price, and her prophets of it tell fortunes for money: yet they lean on Yahweh, and say, “Isn’t Yahweh among us? No disaster will come on us.”

For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it hurries toward the end, and won’t prove false. Though it takes time, wait for it; because it will surely come. It won’t delay.

For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! Grain will make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins.

“Their feet are swift to shed blood.

Oh taste and see that Yahweh is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

But Yahweh’s loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him, his righteousness to children’s children,

Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.

Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No, they were not at all ashamed. They couldn’t blush. Therefore they will fall among those who fall. In the time of their visitation they will be cast down, says Yahweh.

As for both these kings, their hearts will be to do mischief, and they will speak lies at one table; but it won’t prosper, for the end will still be at the appointed time.

But now you glory in your boasting. All such boasting is evil.

It is in the power of my hand to hurt you, but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, ‘Be careful that you don’t speak to Jacob either good or bad.’

For every matter of trespass, whether it is for ox, for donkey, for sheep, for clothing, or for any kind of lost thing, about which one says, ‘This is mine,’ the cause of both parties shall come before God. He whom God condemns shall pay double to his neighbor.

who brings me away from my enemies. Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me. You deliver me from the violent man.

Behold, he travails with iniquity. Yes, he has conceived mischief, and brought out falsehood.

For the wicked boasts of his heart’s cravings. He blesses the greedy and condemns Yahweh.

For your loving kindness is before my eyes. I have walked in your truth.

Your loving kindness, Yahweh, is in the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

For strangers have risen up against me. Violent men have sought after my soul. They haven’t set God before them.

For who in the skies can be compared to Yahweh? Who among the sons of the heavenly beings is like Yahweh,

Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with you, which brings about mischief by statute?

in whose heart is perverseness, who devises evil continually, who always sows discord.

a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are swift in running to mischief,

Don’t be a witness against your neighbor without cause. Don’t deceive with your lips.

Like snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honor is not fitting for a fool.

No one sues in righteousness, and no one pleads in truth. They trust in vanity, and speak lies. They conceive mischief, and give birth to iniquity.

He said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but one, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”

Yet he didn’t leave himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you rains from the sky and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”

But far be it from me to boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who think about earthly things.

His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and oppression. Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.

Blessed is he whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sin is covered.

Behold, they spew with their mouth. Swords are in their lips, “For”, they say, “who hears us?”

For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, abundant in loving kindness to all those who call on you.

For Yahweh is good. His loving kindness endures forever, his faithfulness to all generations.

Yahweh will uproot the house of the proud, but he will keep the widow’s borders intact.

He who loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he who loves abundance, with increase: this also is vanity.

Their tongue is a deadly arrow. It speaks deceit. One speaks peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth, but in his heart, he waits to ambush him.

Their hands are on that which is evil to do it diligently. The ruler and judge ask for a bribe; and the powerful man dictates the evil desire of his soul. Thus they conspire together.

backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
