|
1 |
Why do you boast in evil, O mighty man?
The goodness of God endures continually.
|
|
|
2 |
Your tongue devises destruction,
Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
|
|
3 |
You love evil more than good,
Lying rather than speaking righteousness. Selah
|
|
4 |
You love all devouring words,
You deceitful tongue.
|
|
5 |
God shall likewise destroy you forever;
He shall take you away, and pluck you out of your dwelling place,
And uproot you from the land of the living. Selah
|
|
6 |
The righteous also shall see and fear,
And shall laugh at him, saying,
|
|
7 |
“Here is the man who did not make 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 forever and ever.
|
|
9 |
I will praise You forever,
Because You have done it;
And in the presence of Your saints
I will wait on Your name, for it is good.
