Psalms 52:2

Your tongue carries out your destructive plans; ¹  it is as effective as a sharp razor, O deceiver. ² 

Your tongue plots destruction; it is like a sharpened razor, you who practise deceit.

Your tongue devises destruction, Like a sharp razor, O worker of deceit.

All day long you plot destruction. Your tongue cuts like a sharp razor; you’re an expert at telling lies.

You scheme catastrophe; your tongue cuts razor-sharp, artisan in lies.

Purposing destruction, using deceit; your tongue is like a sharp blade.

you are plotting destruction. Your tongue is like a sharp razor, you worker of treachery.

Your tongue devises destruction, Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

Your tongue carries out your destructive plans; ¹  it is as effective as a sharp razor, O deceiver. ² 

¹ tn Heb “destruction your tongue devises.”
