Psalm 52
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Why do you boast about your crimes, great warrior?
|
|
|
|
Don't you realize God's justice continues forever?
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. All day long you plot destruction.
|
|
|
|
Your tongue cuts like a sharp razor;
|
|
|
|
you're an expert at telling lies.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. You love evil more than good
|
|
|
|
and lies more than truth. Interlude
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. You love to destroy others with your words,
|
|
|
|
you liar!
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. But God will strike you down once and for all.
|
|
|
|
He will pull you from your home
|
|
|
|
and uproot you from the land of the living. Interlude
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. The righteous will see it and be amazed.
|
|
|
|
They will laugh and say,
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. "Look what happens to mighty warriors
|
|
|
|
who do not trust in God.
|
|
|
|
They trust their wealth instead
|
|
|
|
and grow more and more bold in their wickedness."
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. But I am like an olive tree, thriving in the house of God.
|
|
|
|
I will always trust in God's unfailing love.
|
|
|
|
|
|
9. I will praise you forever, O God,
|
|
|
|
for what you have done.
|
|
|
|
I will trust in your good name
|
|
|
|
in the presence of your faithful people.
