Psalms 52:3 in Context — Psalms 52

1 Instrução de Davi, para o regente, quando Doegue, o edomita, veio, e contou a Saul, dizendo: Davi veio à casa de Aimeleque: Por que tu, homem poderoso, te orgulhas no mal? A bondade de Deus continua o dia todo.

2 Tua língua planeja maldades; [é] como navalha afiada, que gera falsidades.

3 Tu amas mais o mal que o bem, [e] a mentira mais do que falar justiça. (Selá)

4 Tu amas todas as palavras de destruição, ó língua enganadora.

5 Porém Deus te derrubará para sempre; ele te tomará, e te arrancará para fora da tenda; e te eliminará de toda a terra dos viventes. (Selá)
