1. Why boastest thou thyself in evil, thou mighty man? The loving-kindness of ·God abideth continually.
2. Thy tongue deviseth mischievous things, like a sharp razor, practising deceit.
3. Thou hast loved evil rather than good, lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.
4. Thou hast loved all devouring words, O deceitful tongue!
5. ·God shall likewise destroy thee for ever; he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of thy tent, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah.
