Why boast thyself, O mighty man

Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #P52 (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Why boast thyself, O mighty man, of mischief and of wrong? The goodness of Almighty God endureth all day long. 2 Thy tongue doth mischief still devise, and falsely doth revile; like to a razor whetted sharp, for ever working guile. 3 Ill more than good thou lov'st, lies more than speaking righteousness: 4 thou lovest all-devouring words, tongue of deceitfulness. 5 So God shall thee destroy for aye, remove thee, pluck thee out quite from thy tent, and from the land of living men thee root. 6 The righteous shall it see and fear, and laugh at him they shall: 7 lo, this the man is that did not make God his strength at all: but he in his abundant wealth his confidence did place; and he took strength unto himself from his own wickedness. 8 But I am in the house of God like a green olive tree; I in God's mercy put my trust unto eternity. 9 And I for ever will thee praise, because thou hast done this, before thy saints I on thy name will wait, for good it is. Scripture: Psalm 52 Languages: English Tune Title: MELROSE
