1 Why do you boast yourself in evil, O mighty man? The Mighty God is good daily.2 Your tongue devises destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.3 You love evil more than good, and lying more than to speak righteousness. Selah.4 You love all devouring words, O deceitful tongue.5 The Mighty God will likewise destroy you forever; He will take you away, and pluck you out of your tent, and has rooted you out of the land of the living. Selah.6 The righteous also shall see and fear, and shall laugh at him, saying,7 Behold, the man who did not make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and was strong in his wickedness.8 But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever.9 I will give thanks to You forever, because You have done it; and in the presence of Your saints I will wait upon Your name, for it is good.
