[1] Why do you boast in evil, O mighty man? The goodness of God endures continually. [2] Your tongue devises calamities, like a sharp razor, you worker of treachery. [3] You love evil more than good, and lying rather than speaking righteousness. Selah [4] You love all devouring words, O you deceitful tongue. [5] God will likewise break you down forever; He will snatch you away and pluck you from your home, and uproot you from the land of the living. Selah [6] The righteous also will see and fear, and will laugh in contempt, [7] "See, this is the man who did not make God his refuge, but trusted in the abundance of riches, and grew strong in his own 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 give thanks to You forever, because You have acted; and I will wait on Your name, for it is good before Your saints.
