- 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 do you boast in evil, O mighty man? The lovingkindness of God endures all day long.
- Your tongue devises destruction, Like a sharp razor, O worker of deceit.
- You love evil more than good, Falsehood more than speaking what is right. Selah.
- You love all words that devour, O deceitful tongue.
- But God will break you down forever; He will snatch you up and tear you away from your tent, And uproot you from 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 will see and fear, And will laugh at him, saying,
- "Behold, the man who would not make God his refuge, But trusted in the abundance of his riches And was strong in his evil desire."
- But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in the lovingkindness of God forever and ever.
- I will give You thanks forever, because You have done it, And I will wait on Your name, for it is good, in the presence of Your godly ones.
