# Chapter 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. |
