Psalm 52God Judges the Proud
|
|
|
|
1. Why boast about evil, you hero!
|
|
God's faithful love is constant.
|
|
|
|
2. Like a sharpened razor,
|
|
your tongue devises destruction,
|
|
working treachery.
|
|
|
|
3. You love evil instead of good,
|
|
lying instead of speaking truthfully.Selah
|
|
|
|
4. You love any words that destroy,
|
|
you treacherous tongue!
|
|
|
|
5. 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
|
|
|
|
6. The righteous will see and fear,
|
|
and they will derisively say about that hero,
|
|
|
|
7. "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."
|
|
|
|
8. But I am like a flourishing olive tree
|
|
in the house of God;
|
|
I trust in God's faithful love forever and ever.
|
|
|
|
9. 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.
