| 1 | Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God {endureth} continually. |
| 2 | Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp rasor, working deceitfully. |
| 3 | Thou lovest evil more than good; {and} lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah. |
| 4 | Thou lovest all devouring words, O {thou} deceitful tongue. |
| 5 | 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. |
| 6 | The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him: |
| 7 | 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. |
| 8 | But I {am} like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever. |
| 9 | 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. |
