1 Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the mercy of God endureth continually.
2 Thy tongue deviseth very wickedness; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
3 Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah
4 Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.
5 God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee up, and pluck thee out of thy tent, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah
6 The righteous also shall see it, and fear, and shall laugh at him, saying,
7 Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.
