1
Why boast you yourself in evil, O mighty man? the goodness of God endures continually.
2
Your tongue devises evil; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
3
You love evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.
4
You love all devouring words, O you deceitful tongue.
5
God shall likewise destroy you forever, he shall take you away, and pluck you out of your dwelling place, and root you out of the land of the living. Selah.
6
The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:
7
Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.
8
But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever.
9
I will praise you forever, because you have done it: and I will wait on your name; for it is good before your saints.
