# Chapter 52
|
|
1 Why do you boast of evil, O mighty man?
|
|
The steadfast love of God endures all the day.
|
|
2 Your tongue plots destruction,
|
|
like a sharp razor, you worker of deceit.
|
|
3 You love evil more than good,
|
|
and lying more than speaking what is right. Selah
|
|
4 You love all words that devour,
|
|
O deceitful tongue.
|
|
5 But God will break you down forever;
|
|
he will snatch and tear you from your tent;
|
|
he will uproot you from the land of the living. Selah
|
|
6 The righteous shall see and fear,
|
|
and shall laugh at him, saying,
|
|
7 “See the man who would not make
|
|
God his refuge,
|
|
but trusted in the abundance of his riches
|
|
and sought refuge in his own destruction!”
|
|
8 But I am like a green olive tree
|
|
in the house of God.
|
|
I trust in the steadfast love of God
|
|
forever and ever.
|
|
9 I will thank you forever,
|
|
because you have done it.
|
|
I will wait for your name, for it is good,
|
|
in the presence of the godly. |
