1WHY do you boast of evil, O mighty man?
The goodness of God endures continually.
2 Your tongue schemes destruction,
it is like a sharpened razor, working treachery.
3 You love evil rather than good,
and lying instead of speaking truthfully. Selah
4 You love all words that devour,
O you deceitful tongue.
5 But God will bring you down forever;
He will snatch you and rip you out of your tent;
He will uproot you from the land of the living. Selah
6 The righteous will see it and be filled with awe;
they will laugh at him and say,
7 “Here is the man
who would not make God his refuge,
but trusted in the abundance of his riches,
and grew strong by his destructive wickedness.”
8 But I am like a green olive tree
flourishing in the house of God;
I trust in the faithful love of God
forever and ever.
9 I will praise You forever for what You have done,
in the presence of Your saints.
In Your name I will hope, for it is good.
