Psalms 52 : 1 - 9
Chapter 52
1 | Why do you boast in evil, O mighty man? The goodness of God endures continually.
|
2 | Your tongue devises destruction, Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
|
3 | You love evil more than good, Lying rather than speaking righteousness.Selah
|
4 | You love all devouring words, You deceitful tongue.
|
5 | God shall likewise destroy you forever; He shall take you away, and pluck you out of your dwelling place, And uproot you from the land of the living.Selah
|
6 | The righteous also shall see and fear, And shall laugh at him, saying,
|
7 | "Here is the man who did not make God his strength, But trusted in the abundance of his riches, And strengthened himself in his wickedness."
|
8 | But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever.
|
9 | I will praise You forever, Because You have done it; And in the presence of Your saints I will wait on Your name, for it is good.
