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.”
