Like An Olive Tree (Psalm 52) Lyrics

Why do you boast of evil, mighty one?

God's love endures when day is done

Your tongue plots destruction like a blade

Cutting down the righteous in your raid

But I am like an olive tree

Growing green in God's sanctuary

Forever and ever, I will praise

Your name through all my days

You love every word that brings decay

False over truth is what you say

But God will break you down at last

Your tent will crumble to the past

But I am like an olive tree

Growing green in God's sanctuary

Forever and ever, I will praise

Your name through all my days

The righteous will see and fear

When pride comes tumbling down

Those who trusted wealth and power

Will wear destruction's crown

I trust in God's unfailing love

Like wings of mercy from above

The faithful gather, watching still

As justice claims its final bill

But I am like an olive tree

Growing green in God's sanctuary

Forever and ever, I will praise

Your name through all my days

Forever and ever, I will praise

Your name through all my days
