Verse 5 is found in chapter 52 of Psalms. Psalm 52 denounces the destructive use of the tongue and arrogant trust in riches. The adversary boasts in deceit and violence, but the psalmist contrasts this behavior with the image of a green olive tree in God’s house. The difference is not merely wealth or poverty, but where trust is placed. The conclusion promises to publicly remember divine goodness in contrast to the apparent security of the wicked.
