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

Your tongue devises ^(C1)destruction, Like a ^(C2)sharp razor, ^(C3)you worker of deceit.

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

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

^(F1)But God will break you down forever; He will snatch you up and ^(C1)tear you away from your tent, And ^(C2)uproot you from the ^(C3)land of the living. Selah

The righteous will ^(C1)see and fear, And they will ^(C2)laugh at him, saying,

"Behold, the man who would not make God his refuge, But ^(C1)trusted in the abundance of his riches And ^(C2)was strong in ^(F1)his evil desire."

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

I will ^(C1)praise You forever, because You have done it, And I will wait on Your name, ^(C2)for it is good, in the presence of Your godly ones.
