- Why do you boast of evil, you mighty man? Why do you boast all day long, you who are a disgrace in the eyes of God?
- Your tongue plots destruction; it is like a sharpened razor, you who practice deceit.
- You love evil rather than good, falsehood rather than speaking the truth. Selah
- You love every harmful word, O you deceitful tongue!
- Surely God will bring you down to everlasting ruin: He will snatch you up and tear you from your tent; he will uproot you from the land of the living. Selah
|
- Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth continually.
- The tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
- Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.
- Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.
- 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.

- The righteous will see and fear; they will laugh at him, saying,
- "Here now is the man who did not make God his stronghold but trusted in his great wealth and grew strong by destroying others!"
- But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in God's unfailing love for ever and ever.
- I will praise you forever for what you have done; in your name I will hope, for your name is good. I will praise you in the presence of your saints.
|
- The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:
- 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.
- But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.
- 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.
