1.0 KiB
Psalm 52
- Why do you boast about your crimes, great warrior?
Don't you realize God's justice continues forever?
- All day long you plot destruction.
Your tongue cuts like a sharp razor;
you're an expert at telling lies.
- You love evil more than good
and lies more than truth. Interlude
- You love to destroy others with your words,
you liar!
- 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
- The righteous will see it and be amazed.
They will laugh and say,
- "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."
- But I am like an olive tree, thriving in the house of God.
I will always trust in God's unfailing love.
- 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.
