PSALMS 诗篇052

PSALM¹ 52
1Why do you boast of evil, you mighty² man? Why do you boast all day long, you who are a disgrace in the eyes of God?
2Your tongue plots destruction; it is like a sharpened razor, you who practice deceit.
3You love evil rather than good, falsehood rather than speaking the truth. Selah
4You love every harmful word, O you deceitful tongue!
5Surely God will bring you down to everlasting³ ruin: He will snatch you up and tear you from your tent; he will uproot⁴ you from the land of the living. Selah
6The righteous will see and fear; they will laugh at him, saying,
7"Here now is the man who did not make God his stronghold but trusted in his great wealth and grew strong by destroying others!"
8But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in God's unfailing love for ever and ever.
9I will praise you forever for what you have done; in your name I will hope, for your name is good. I will praise you in the presence of your saints.
