1 Why brag about evil, you hero! God’s faithful love is constant.
2 Like a sharpened razor,your tongue devises destruction,working treachery.
3 You love evil instead of good,lying instead of speaking truthfully. Selah
4 You love any words that destroy,you treacherous tongue!
5 This is why God will bring you down forever.He will take you, ripping you out of your tent;He will uproot you from the land of the living. Selah
6 The righteous will look on with aweand will ridicule him:
7 “Here is the manwho would not make God his refuge,but trusted in the abundance of his riches,taking refuge in his destructive behavior.”
8 But I am like a flourishing olive treein the house of God; I trust in God’s faithful love forever and ever.
9 I will praise You forever for what You have done.In the presence of Your faithful people,I will put my hope in Your name, for it is good.
