1 Why do you brag about the evil you’ve done, you hero?The mercy of God lasts all day long!
2 Your tongue makes up threats.It’s like a sharp razor, you master of deceit.
3 You prefer evil to good.You prefer lying to speaking the truth. Selah
4 You love every destructive accusation, you deceitful tongue!
5 But God will ruin you forever.He will grab you and drag you out of your tent.He will pull your roots out of this world of the living. Selah
6 Righteous people will see ⌊this⌋ and be struck with fear.They will laugh at you and say,
7 “Look at this person who refused to make God his fortress!Instead, he trusted his great wealthand became strong through his greed.”
8 But I am like a large olive tree in God’s house.I trust the mercy of God forever and ever.
9 I will give thanks to you foreverfor what you have done.In the presence of your godly people,I will wait with hope in your good name.
