1 Why do you boast of mischief, mighty man? God's loving kindness endures continually.
2 Your tongue plots destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
3 You love evil more than good, lying rather than speaking the truth. Selah.
4 You love all devouring words, you deceitful tongue.
5 God will likewise destroy you forever. He will take you up, and pluck you out of your tent, and root you out of the land of the living. Selah.
6 The righteous also will see it, and fear, and laugh at him, saying,
7 "Look, this is the man who did not make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and was confident in his desire."
8 But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in God's house. I trust in God's loving kindness forever and ever.
9 I will give you thanks forever, because you have done it. I will hope in your name, for it is good, in the presence of your faithful ones.
