• The End of the Wicked and the Peace of the Godly

  • 1 Why do you boast in evil, O mighty man? The goodness of God endures continually.
  • 2 Your tongue devises destruction, Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
  • 3 You love evil more than good, Lying rather than speaking righteousness. Selah
  • 4 You love all devouring words, You deceitful tongue.
  • 5 God shall likewise destroy you forever; He shall take you away, and pluck you out of your dwelling place, And uproot you from the land of the living. Selah
  • 6 The righteous also shall see and fear, And shall laugh at him, saying,
  • 7 “Here is the man who did not make God his strength, But trusted in the abundance of his riches, And strengthened himself in his wickedness.”
  • 8 But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever.
  • 9 I will praise You forever, Because You have done it; And in the presence of Your saints I will wait on Your name, for it is good.
