PsalmsPsalm 52 |
1 To the chief |
2 The tongue |
3 You love |
4 You love |
5 God |
6 The righteous |
7 See, |
8 But I am like a green |
9 I will praise |
PsalmsPsalm 52 |
1 WHY do you boast of evil, O mighty man? Your tongue devises injustices against the innocent every day. |
2 It is like a sharp razor, working deceitfully. |
3 You love evil more than good, and lying rather than speaking righteousness. |
4 You love all that speak evil and all deceitful tongues; |
5 Therefore, God shall overthrow you, and he shall root you out of your dwelling place, and out of the land of the living. |
6 Then shall the righteous see and rejoice, and shall trust in the LORD; |
7 And they shall say, Lo, this is the man who trusted not in God; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and boasted in his possessions. |
8 But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I have trusted in the mercy of God for ever and ever. |
9 I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it; and I will proclaim thy name before thy saints for generations. |
