Psalm 52

Psalm 52

God Judges the Proud

For the choir director. A Davidic Maskil. When Doeg the Edomite went and reported to Saul, telling him, “David went to Ahimelech’s house.”(A)

1 Why brag about evil, you hero!(B)
God’s faithful love is constant.(C)
2 Like a sharpened razor,
your tongue devises destruction,
working treachery.(D)
3 You love evil instead of good,
lying instead of speaking truthfully.(E)Selah
4 You love any words that destroy,
you treacherous tongue!(F)

5 This is why God will bring you down forever.
He will take you, ripping you out of your tent;
He will uproot you from the land of the living.(G)Selah
6 The righteous will look on with awe
and will ridicule him:(H)
7 “Here is the man
who would not make God his refuge,
but trusted in the abundance of his riches,
taking refuge in his destructive behavior.”[a](I)

8 But I am like a flourishing olive tree
in the house of God;(J)
I trust in God’s faithful love forever and ever.(K)
9 I will praise You forever for what You have done.
In the presence of Your faithful people,
I will put my hope in Your name, for it is good.(L)

Amos 5:10-17

10 They hate the one who convicts the guilty(A)
at the city gate
and despise(B) the one who speaks with integrity.
11 Therefore, because you trample on the poor(C)
and exact a grain tax from him,
you will never live in the houses of cut stone(D)
you have built;
you will never drink the wine
from the lush vineyards
you have planted.(E)
12 For I know your crimes are many
and your sins innumerable.
They oppress the righteous,(F) take a bribe,
and deprive the poor of justice(G) at the gates.
13 Therefore, the wise person will keep silent[a](H)
at such a time,
for the days are evil.

14 Seek good and not evil
so that you may live,
and the Lord, the God of Hosts,
will be with you,
as you have claimed.(I)
15 Hate evil and love good;(J)
establish justice in the gate.(K)
Perhaps the Lord, the God of Hosts, will be gracious(L)
to the remnant of Joseph.(M)

16 Therefore Yahweh, the God of Hosts, the Lord, says:

There will be wailing in all the public squares;(N)
they will cry out in anguish[b] in all the streets.
The farmer will be called on to mourn,(O)
and professional mourners[c](P) to wail.
17 There will be wailing in all the vineyards,(Q)
for I will pass among you.(R)
The Lord has spoken.

Hebrews 5:1-6

The Messiah, a High Priest

5 For every high priest taken from men is appointed in service[a] to God for the people, to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins. 2 He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and are going astray, since he is also subject to weakness.(A) 3 Because of this, he must make a sin offering for himself as well as for the people.(B) 4 No one takes this honor on himself; instead, a person is called by God, just as Aaron was.(C) 5 In the same way, the Messiah did not exalt Himself to become a high priest, but the One who said to Him, You are My Son; today I have become Your Father,(D)[b] 6 also said in another passage, You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.(E)[c]
