Psalm 52:3-5
The Voice

3 You’ve fallen in love with evil and have no interest in what He calls good.
    You prefer your own lies to speaking what is true.

[pause][a]

4 You love words that destroy people, don’t you,
    lying tongue?

5 You won’t be smiling
    when the True God brings His justice and destroys you forever.
    He will come into your home, snatch you away,
    and pull you from the land of the living.

[pause]
