## Text

[1] Why do you boast of evil, O mighty man?
The loving devotion of God endures all day long. [2] Your tongue devises destruction
like a sharpened razor,
O worker of deceit. [3] You love evil more than good,
falsehood more than speaking truth.
Selah [4] You love every word that devours,
O deceitful tongue. [5] Surely God will bring you down to everlasting ruin;
He will snatch you up and tear you away from your tent;
He will uproot you from the land of the living.
Selah [6] The righteous will see and fear;
they will mock the evildoer, 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.” [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. [9] I will praise You forever,
because You have done it.
I will wait on Your name—
for it is good—
in the presence of Your saints.
