1 Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? <br /> the goodness of God endureth continually. <br /> <br />2 The tongue deviseth mischiefs; <br /> like a sharp razor, working deceitfully. <br /> <br />3 Thou lovest evil more than good; <br /> and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah. <br /> <br />4 Thou lovest all devouring words, <br /> O thou deceitful tongue. <br /> <br />5 God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, <br /> he shall take thee away, <br /> and pluck thee out of thy dwelling place, <br /> and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah. <br /> <br />6 The righteous also shall see, <br /> and fear, and shall laugh at him: <br /> <br />7 Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; <br /> but trusted in the abundance of his riches, <br /> and strengthened himself in his wickedness. <br /> <br />8 But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: <br /> I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever. <br /> <br />9 I will praise thee for ever, <br /> because thou hast done it: <br /> and I will wait on thy name; <br /> for it is good before thy saints.<br /><br />King David of Israel<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/psalm-52-why-boastest-thou-thyself-in-mischief-o-mighty-man/
