Chapter 52 | |
1 | Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of EL endureth continually. |
2 |
The tongue deviseth mischiefs; 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, O thou deceitful tongue. |
5 | EL 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. |
6 | The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him: |
7 |
Lo, this is the man that made not ELOHIYM 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 ELOHIYM: I trust in the mercy of ELOHIYM for ever and ever. |
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. |
