Do Not Trust in Human Strength


Do not trust in human strength or power
Such are food for vultures to devour
The wicked will boast in crimes with delight
 No fear of penalty or sudden flight
They walk with pride exalting their grave wrong
Not knowing of their own pain they prolong
Not just in ways but in words that destroy
Sharp tongues that deceive with lies that employ

Heaven’s council will not be mocked this way
Retribution with pain they will repay
There is but one that all my freely trust
The rest will only lead to ash and dust
Those who trust in the Eternal will live
Thriving trees with olives to ever give

Psalms 52:2 KJV Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
