Psalm 52
|
|
| 52:1
Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God
endureth continually. |
 "Why do you glory in malice … you have
loved malice more than goodness"
(Unknown, 12th Century)
|
| 52:2
The tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
|
| 52:3
Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak
righteousness. Selah.
|
| 52:4
Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue. |
|
| 52:5
God shall likewise
destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of thy
dwelling place, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah. |
(52:5-7)
If you don't trust in God, he'll kill you
and while you're dying the "righteous" will laugh at you.
|
| 52:6
The righteous also
shall see, and fear, and
shall laugh at him: |
|
| 52:7
Lo, this is the man
that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his
riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness. |
|
| 52:8
But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy
of God for ever and ever. |
|
| 52:9
I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on
thy name; for it is good before thy saints.
