The Hebrew Psalms in English Verse
Psalm 52
Abraham Coles
Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, mighty man?
The mercy of th'Almighty never fails;
2 Thy tongue, like a sharp razor, wickedness doth plan,
Working deceitfully, inventing tales.
3 Thou lovest evil more than good; and lies
4 Far more than truth, O thou deceitful tongue!
5 He shall destroy thee, fatal man, likewise.
He shall lay hold of thee; thou shalt be flung
Out of thy tent; He'll thee uproot at length:
6 Good men shall laugh at thee, and say,
7 "Lo, this is he that made not God his strength,
Making th'abundance of his wealth his stay."
8 But I am like an olive tree, forever seen
9 In the Lord's house still flourishing and green.
