Whyboastest thou thyselfin mischief, O mighty man? the goodnessof God endureth continually. Thy tonguedevisethmischiefs; like a sharprazor, workingdeceitfully. Thou lovestevilmore than good; and lyingrather than to speakrighteousness. Selah. Thou lovestalldevouringwords, O thou deceitfultongue. Godshall likewisedestroythee forever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee outof thy dwelling place, and rootthee out of the landof the living. Selah. The righteousalso shall see, and fear, and shall laughathim: Lo, this is the man that madenotGodhis strength; but trustedin the abundanceof his riches, and strengthenedhimself in his wickedness. But I am like a greenolive treein the houseof God: I trustin the mercyof Godforeverand ever. I will praisethee forever, becausethou hast done it : and I will wait onthy name; for it is goodbeforethy saints.
