| 1 | <> Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God [endureth] continually. |
| 2 | Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; 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 away, and pluck thee out of [thy] dwelling place, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah. |
| 6 | The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him: |
| 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. |
| 8 | But I [am] like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever. |
| 9 | I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done [it]: and I will wait on thy name; for [it is] good before thy saints. |
