Psalm 52
<\/strong>Against a calumniator
If anyone would boast, let him boast in the Lord\u00a0<\/em>(1 Corinthians 1:31).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why do you boast of your wickedness,
you champion of evil,
planning ruin all day long,
your tongue like a sharpened razor,
you master of deceit?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You love evil more than good,
lies more than truth.
You love the destructive word,
you tongue of deceit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this God will destroy you
and remove you for ever.
He will snatch you from your tent and uproot you
from the land of the living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The just shall see and fear.
They shall laugh and say:
So this is the man who refused
to take God as a stronghold,
but trusted in the greatness of his wealth
and grew powerful by his crimes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I am like a growing olive tree
in the house of God.
I trust in the goodness of God
for ever and ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will thank you for evermore;
for this is your doing.
I will proclaim that your name is good,
in the presence of your friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
\u2014 as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":12403,"template":"","rizors":[],"yoast_head":"\nBut I am like a growing olive tree - Behold<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/behold.mt\/en\/talba-bis-salmi\/but-i-am-like-a-growing-olive-tree\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"But I am like a growing olive tree - Behold\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Office of the Reading, Wednesday 8 January 2025 Psalm 52Against a calumniatorIf anyone would boast, let him boast in the Lord\u00a0(1 Corinthians 1:31).
