2 Your tongue devises mischiefs, || Like a sharp razor, working deceit. 3 You have loved evil rather than good, || Lying, than speaking righteousness. Selah. 4 You have loved all devouring words, || O you deceitful tongue. 5 Also—God breaks you down forever, || Takes you, and pulls you out of the tent, || And He has uprooted you || Out of the land of the living. Selah. 6 And the righteous see, || And fear, and laugh at him. 7 “Behold, the man who does not make God his strong place, || And trusts in the abundance of his riches, || He is strong in his mischiefs.” 8 And I, as a green olive in the house of God, || I have trusted in the kindness of God, || For all time and forever, 9 I thank You for all time, because You have done [it], || And I wait [on] Your Name for [it is] good before Your saints!
