1Why 1boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? 2the goodness of God endureth continually.
2Thy 1tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
3Thou 1lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.
4Thou lovest 1all devouring words, aO thou deceitful tongue.
5God 1shall likewise adestroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of thy dwelling place, and 2root thee out of 3the land of the living. Selah.
6The 1righteous also shall see, and fear, and 2shall laugh at him:
7Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but 1trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his awickedness.
8But I am like 1a green olive tree in the house of God: I 2trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.
9I 1will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I 2will wait on thy name; for it is3good before 4thy saints.
