Psalms 52,53,54
Psalms 52
1Why do you boast in evil, you mighty man? The faithfulness of God endures all day long.
2Your tongue devises destruction, Like a sharp razor, you worker of deceit.
3You love evil more than good, Lies more than speaking what is right. Selah
4You love all words that devour, You deceitful tongue.
5But God will break you down forever; He will snatch you up and tear you away from your tent, And uproot you from the land of the living. Selah
6The righteous will see and fear, And they will laugh at him, saying,
7“Behold, the man who would not make God his refuge, But trusted in the abundance of his riches And was strong in his evil desire.”
8But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in the faithfulness of God forever and ever.
9I will praise You forever, because You have done it, And I will wait on Your name, for it is good, in the presence of Your godly ones.
Psalms 53
1The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and have committed abominable injustice; There is no one who does good.
2God has looked down from heaven upon the sons of mankind To see if there is anyone who understands, Who seeks after God.
3Every one of them has turned aside; together they have become corrupt; There is no one who does good, not even one.
4Have the workers of injustice no knowledge, Who eat up My people like they ate bread, And have not called upon God?
5They were in great fear there, where no fear had been; For God scattered the bones of him who encamped against you; You put them to shame, because God had rejected them.
6Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come from Zion! When God restores the fortunes of His people, Jacob shall rejoice, Israel shall be glad.
Psalms 54
1Save me, God, by Your name, And vindicate me by Your power.
2Hear my prayer, God; Listen to the words of my mouth.
3For strangers have risen against me And violent men have sought my life; They have not set God before them. Selah
4Behold, God is my helper; The Lord is the sustainer of my soul.
5He will pay back the evil to my enemies; Destroy them in Your faithfulness.
6Willingly I will sacrifice to You; I will praise Your name, LORD, for it is good.
7For He has saved me from all trouble, And my eye has looked with satisfaction upon my enemies.
