Psalms

God Judges the Proud

52  Why brag about evil, you hero! God’s faithful love is constant. 2 Like a sharpened razor,your tongue devises destruction,working treachery. 3 You love evil instead of good,lying instead of speaking truthfully. 

•Selah

4 You love any words that destroy,you treacherous tongue! 

5 This is why God will bring you down forever.He will take you, ripping you out of your tent;He will uproot you from the land of the living. 

Selah

6 The righteous will look on with aweand will ridicule him: 7 “Here is the manwho would not make God his refuge,but trusted in the abundance of his riches,taking refuge in his destructive behavior.” A 

8 But I am like a flourishing olive treein the house of God; I trust in God’s faithful love forever and ever. 9 I will praise You forever for what You have done.In the presence of Your faithful people,I will put my hope in Your name, for it is good.
