Futility of Boastful Wickedness.

¹ Why do you ^(C1)boast of evil, O mighty man?
The ^(C2)lovingkindness of God endures all day long.

² Your tongue devises ^(C1)destruction,
Like a ^(C2)sharp razor, ^(C3)working deceitfully.

³ You ^(C1)love evil more than good,
And ^(C2)falsehood more than speaking what is right. Selah.

⁴ You love all words that devour,
O ^(C1)deceitful tongue.

⁵ But God will break you down forever;
He will take you away and ^(C1)tear you away from your tent,
And ^(C2)uproot you from the ^(C3)land of the living. Selah.

⁶ The righteous will ^(C1)see it and fear,
And will scoffingly ^(C2)laugh, saying,

⁷ "Look, this is the man who would not make God his strength his stronghold and fortress,
But ^(C1)trusted in the abundance of his riches,
^(C2)Taking refuge in his wealth."

⁸ But as for me, I am like a ^(C1)green olive tree in the house of God;
I ^(C2)trust confidently in the lovingkindness of God forever and ever.

⁹ I will ^(C1)thank You forever, because You have done it, You have rescued me and kept me safe.
I will wait on Your name, ^(C2)for it is good, in the presence of Your godly ones.
