You who practice deceit,
your tongue plots destruction;
it is like a sharpened razor.
your tongue plots destruction;
it is like a sharpened razor.
Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp rasor, working deceitfully.

You love every harmful word,
you deceitful tongue!
you deceitful tongue!
Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.

he will uproot you from the land of the living.
He will snatch you up and pluck you from your tent;
he will uproot you from the land of the living.

they will laugh at you, saying,
they will laugh at you, saying,
The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:
“Here now is the man
who did not make God his stronghold
but trusted in his great wealth
and grew strong by destroying others!”
who did not make God his stronghold
but trusted in his great wealth
and grew strong by destroying others!”
Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.
But I am like an olive tree
flourishing in the house of God;
I trust in God’s unfailing love
for ever and ever.
flourishing in the house of God;
I trust in God’s unfailing love
for ever and ever.
But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.
