# Chapter 52
|
||
1 Why boast about evil, you hero!
|
||
God’s faithful love is constant.
|
||
2 Like a sharpened razor,
|
||
your tongue devises destruction,
|
||
working treachery.
|
||
3 You love evil instead of good,
|
||
lying instead of speaking truthfully. Selah
|
||
4 You love any words that destroy,
|
||
you treacherous tongue!
|
||
5 This is why God will bring you down forever.
|
||
He will take you, ripping you out of your tent;
|
||
he will uproot you from the land of the living. Selah
|
||
6 The righteous will see and fear,
|
||
and they will derisively say about that hero,
|
||
7 “Here is the man
|
||
who would not make God his refuge,
|
||
but trusted in the abundance of his riches,
|
||
taking refuge in his destructive behavior.”
|
||
8 But I am like a flourishing olive tree
|
||
in the house of God;
|
||
I trust in God’s faithful love forever and ever.
|
||
9 I will praise you forever for what you have done.
|
||
In the presence of your faithful people,
|
||
I will put my hope in your name, for it is good. |
