1. 1Why do you boast in mischief, mighty man? The goodness of God endures continually.
2. 2Your tongue devises mischiefs, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
3. 3You love evil more than good, and lying rather than speaking righteousness. Selah.
4. 4You love all devouring words, you deceitful tongue.
5. 5God will likewise destroy you forever. He will take you away, and pluck you out of your dwelling place, and root you out of the land of the living. Selah.
6. 6The righteous also will see, and fear, and will laugh at him:
7. 7"Look, this is the man that did not make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness."
8. 8But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God. I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever.
9. 9I will praise you forever, because you have done it. And I will wait on your name, for it is good before your saints.
