2 Your tongue makes up threats. It's like a sharp razor, you master of deceit. 3 You prefer evil to good. You prefer lying to speaking the truth. [Selah] 4 You love every destructive accusation, you deceitful tongue! 5 But God will ruin you forever. He will grab you and drag you out of your tent. He will pull your roots out of this world of the living. [Selah] 6 Righteous people will see [this] and be struck with fear. They will laugh at you and say, 7 |Look at this person who refused to make God his fortress! Instead, he trusted his great wealth and became strong through his greed.| 8 But I am like a large olive tree in God's house. I trust the mercy of God forever and ever. 9 I will give thanks to you forever for what you have done. In the presence of your godly people, I will wait with hope in your good name.
