King James Bible |
Youngs Literal Translation |
|
| 52:1 | Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth continually. | To the Overseer. -- An instruction, by David, in the coming in of Doeg the Edomite, and he declareth to Saul, and saith to him, `David came in unto the house of Ahimelech.' What, boasteth thou in evil, O mighty one? The kindness of God `is' all the day. |
| 52:2 | Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully. | Mischiefs doth thy tongue devise, Like a sharp razor, working deceit. |
| 52:3 | Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah. | Thou hast loved evil rather than good, Lying, than speaking righteousness. Selah. |
| 52:4 | Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue. | Thou hast loved all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue. |
| 52:5 | God shall likewise |
Also -- God doth break thee down for ever, Taketh thee, and pulleth thee out of the tent, And He hath uprooted thee Out of the land of the living. Selah. |
| 52:6 | The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him: | And the righteous see, And fear, and laugh at him. |
| 52:7 | Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his |
`Lo, the man who maketh not God his strong place, And trusteth in the abundance of his riches, He is strong in his mischiefs.' |
| 52:8 | But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever. | And I, as a green olive in the house of God, I have trusted in the kindness of God, To the age and for ever, |
| 52:9 | 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. | I thank Thee to the age, because Thou hast done `it', And I wait `on' Thy name for `it is' good before Thy saints! |
