1 Why do you boast of evil, O mighty man?The steadfast love of God endures all the day.
2 Your tongue plots destruction,like a sharp razor, you worker of deceit.
3 You love evil more than good,and lying more than speaking what is right. Selah
4 You love all words that devour,O deceitful tongue.
5 But God will break you down forever;he will snatch and tear you from your tent;he will uproot you from the land of the living. Selah
6 The righteous shall see and fear,and shall laugh at him, saying,
7 “See the man who would not makeGod his refuge,but trusted in the abundance of his richesand sought refuge in his own destruction!”
8 But I am like a green olive treein the house of God.I trust in the steadfast love of Godforever and ever.
9 I will thank you forever,because you have done it.I will wait for your name, for it is good,in the presence of the godly.
