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 manwho 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 treein the house of God;I trust in the mercy of Godforever 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.
