O Mighty Man, Why Wilt Thou Boast? (EN 1039)

EN 1039 O Mighty Man, Why Wilt Thou Boast?

Ps.52.1

Versi Version 1

1

O mighty man, why wilt thou boast

Thyself in hateful cruelty,

When God Almighty is most kind,

And ever merciful is He?

2

Thy tongue deviseth wickedness,

A weapon treacherous and keen;

Thou lovest evil more than good,

And falsehood in thy sight is clean.

3

Since, O thou false, deceitful tongue,

In deadly words thou findest joy,

The Lord shall pluck thee from thy place

And all thy wickedness destroy.

4

The good, confirmed in godly fear,

The pride and folly shall confess

Of those who make not God their strength,

But trust in wealth and wickedness.

5

But as for me, my strength is like

A verdant temple olive tree;

My trust is in God’s tender love,

Which shall endure eternally.

6

With endless thanks, O Lord, to Thee,

Thy wondrous works I will proclaim,

And in the presence of Thy saints

Will ever hope in Thy good Name.
