But God will break you down forever; He will snatch you up and tear you away from <i>your</i> tent, And uproot you from the land of the living. Selah Surely God will bring you down to everlasting ruin: He will snatch you up and pluck you from your tent; he will uproot you from the land of the living.
6 The righteous will see and fear; they will mock the evildoer, saying, The righteous shall see and fear, and shall laugh at him, saying, The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him: The righteous will see and fear, And they will laugh at him, <i>saying,</i> The righteous will see and fear; they will laugh at you, saying,
7 “Look at the man who did not make God his refuge, but trusted in the abundance of his wealth and strengthened himself by destruction.” “See the man who would not make God his refuge, but trusted in the abundance of his riches and sought refuge in his own destruction!” Lo, <i>this is</i> the man <i>that</i> made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, <i>and</i> strengthened himself in his wickedness. “Behold, the man who would not make God his refuge, But trusted in the abundance of his riches <i>And</i> was strong in his <i>evil</i> desire.” “Here now is the man who did not make God his stronghold but trusted in his great wealth and grew strong by destroying others!”
8 But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in the loving devotion of God forever and ever. But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God.

But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in the faithfulness of God forever and ever. But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in God’s unfailing love for ever and ever.
