# Chapter 52
|
|
1 Why do you boast in evil, O mighty man?
|
|
The goodness of God endures continually.
|
|
2 Your tongue devises destruction,
|
|
Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
|
|
3 You love evil more than good,
|
|
Lying rather than speaking righteousness. Selah
|
|
4 You love all devouring words,
|
|
You deceitful tongue.
|
|
5 God shall likewise destroy you forever;
|
|
He shall take you away, and pluck you out of your dwelling place,
|
|
And uproot you from the land of the living. Selah
|
|
6 The righteous also shall see and fear,
|
|
And shall laugh at him, saying,
|
|
7 “Here is the man who did not make God his strength,
|
|
But trusted in the abundance of his riches,
|
|
And strengthened himself in his wickedness.”
|
|
8 But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God;
|
|
I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever.
|
|
9 I will praise You forever,
|
|
Because You have done it;
|
|
And in the presence of Your saints
|
|
I will wait on Your name, for it is good. |
