“Behold, the man who would not make God his refuge,
But (A)trusted in the abundance of his riches
And (B)was strong in [a]his evil desire.”

But as for me, I am like a (C)green olive tree in the house of God;
I (D)trust in the faithfulness of God forever and ever.
I will (E)praise You forever, because You have done it,
And I will wait on Your name, (F)for it is good, in the presence of Your godly ones.

  1. Psalm 52:7 Or his destruction

“Here now is the man
    who did not make God his stronghold(A)
but trusted in his great wealth(B)

I trust(D) in God’s unfailing love
    for ever and ever.
For what you have done I will always praise you(E)
    in the presence of your faithful people.(F)
And I will hope in your name,(G)
    for your name is good.(H)
