Psalms 52
Psalms 52 opens with these words: “Why do you boast of mischief, mighty man? God’s loving kindness endures continually.” The line to keep is Psalms 52:8: “But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in God’s house. I trust in God’s loving kindness forever and ever.” Carry the word “green” from that verse into the rest of the day.

2Your tongue plots destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
3You love evil more than good, lying rather than speaking the truth. Selah.
4You love all devouring words, you deceitful tongue.
5God will likewise destroy you forever. He will take you up, and pluck you out of your tent, and root you out of the land of the living. Selah.
6The righteous also will see it, and fear, and laugh at him, saying,
7“Behold, this is the man who didn’t make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.”
8But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in God’s house. I trust in God’s loving kindness forever and ever.
