Chapter 52 | |
1 |
Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? The lovingkindness of God endureth continually. |
2 | Thy tongue deviseth very wickedness, Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully. |
3 | Thou lovest evil more than good, And lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah |
4 | Thou lovest all devouring words, thou deceitful tongue. |
5 | God will likewise destroy thee for ever; He will take thee up, and pluck thee out of thy tent, And root thee out of the land of the living. Selah |
6 | The righteous also shall see it, and fear, And shall laugh at him, saying, |
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. |
8 | But as for me, I am like a green olive-tree in the house of God: I trust in the lovingkindness of God for ever and ever. |
9 | I will give thee thanks for ever, because thou hast done it; And I will hope in thy name, for it is good, in the presence of thy saints. |
