1Why do you boast of evil, O mighty man? The steadfast love of God endures all the day.1Why do you make evil the foundation of your boasting, mighty one? God's gracious love never ceases.
2Your tongue plots destruction, like a sharp razor, you worker of deceit.2Your tongue, like a sharp razor, devises wicked things and crafts treachery.
3You love evil more than good, and lying more than speaking what is right. Selah3You love evil rather than good, falsehood rather than speaking uprightly. Interlude
4You love all words that devour, O deceitful tongue.4You love all words that destroy, you deceitful tongue!
5But God will break you down forever; he will snatch and tear you from your tent; he will uproot you from the land of the living. Selah5But God will tear you down forever; he will take you away, even snatching you out of your tent! He will uproot you from the land of the living. Interlude

8But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God. I trust in the steadfast love of God forever and ever.8But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in the gracious love of God forever and ever.
9I will thank you forever, because you have done it. I will wait for your name, for it is good, in the presence of the godly.9Therefore I will praise you forever because of what you did; I will proclaim that your name is good in the midst of your faithful ones.
