¹Why boast youi yourself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] [endures] continually.

²Your2s tongue devises mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

³youi love evil more than good; [and] lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah [stop and diligently consider what was just said] .

⁴youi love all devouring words, O [you ] deceitful tongue.

⁵God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] shall likewise destroy youi forever, he shall take youi away, and pluck youi out of [your ] dwelling place, and root youi out of the land of the living. Selah [stop and diligently consider what was just said] .

⁶The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:

⁷Lo, [this is] the man [that] made not God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, [and] strengthened himself in his wickedness.

⁸But I [am] like a green olive tree in the house of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] : I trust in the mercy of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] forever and ever.

⁹I will praise youi forever, because youi have done [it] : and I will wait on youri name; for [it is] good before youri saints.
