Psalm 52God Judges the Proud
-
Why boast about evil, you hero! God's faithful love is constant.
-
Like a sharpened razor, your tongue devises destruction, working treachery.
-
You love evil instead of good, lying instead of speaking truthfully.Selah
-
You love any words that destroy, you treacherous tongue!
-
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
-
The righteous will see and fear, and they will derisively say about that hero,
-
"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."
-
But I am like a flourishing olive tree in the house of God; I trust in God's faithful love forever and ever.
-
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.
