52:2 Your tongue devises much wickedness, Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully. 52:3 You love evil more than good, And lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah. 52:4 You love all devouring words, O you deceitful tongue. 52:5 God will likewise break you down forever; He will take you up, and pluck you out of your tent, And root you out of the land of the living. Selah. 52:6 The righteous also will see [it], and fear, And will laugh at him, [saying,] 52:7 Look, this is the [prominent] man who did not make God his strength, But trusted in the abundance of his riches, And strengthened himself in his plunder. 52:8 But as for me, I am like a green olive-tree in the house of God: I trust in the loving-kindness of God forever and ever. 52:9 I will give you thanks forever, because you have done it; And I will proclaim your name, for it is good, in the presence of your saints. |
