2. Your tongue devises destruction, Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

3. You love evil more than good, And falsehood more than speaking what is right. Selah.

4. You love all words that devour, O deceitful tongue.

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

6. The righteous will see it and fear, And will [scoffingly] laugh, saying,

7. “Look, [this is] the man who would not make God his strength [his stronghold and fortress], But trusted in the abundance of his riches, Taking refuge in his wealth.”

8. But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust [confidently] in the lovingkindness of God forever and ever.

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