[1] WHY do you boast of evil, O mighty man? Your tongue devises injustices against the innocent every day.
[2] It is like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
[3] You love evil more than good, and lying rather than speaking righteousness.
[4] You love all that speak evil and all deceitful tongues;
[5] Therefore, God shall overthrow you, and he shall root you out of your dwelling place, and out of the land of the living.
[6] Then shall the righteous see and rejoice, and shall trust in the LORD;
[7] And they shall say, Lo, this is the man who trusted not in God; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and boasted in his possessions.
[8] But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I have trusted in the mercy of God for ever and ever.
[9] I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it; and I will proclaim thy name before thy saints for generations.
