Psalm

 2 Your tongue, as sharp as a razor,+

Schemes harm and works deceitfully.+

 3 You love evil more than what is good,

Lying more than speaking what is right. (Selah)

 4 You love every harmful word,

O you deceitful tongue!

 5 That is why God will pull you down once and for all;+

He will snatch you up and tear you away from your tent;+

He will uproot you from the land of the living.+ (Selah)

 6 The righteous ones will see it and be filled with awe,+

And they will laugh at him.+

 7 “Here is a man who did not make God his refuge,*+

But he trusted in his great riches+

And relied on* his own evil plots.”*

 8 But I will be like a luxuriant olive tree in God’s house;

My trust is in God’s loyal love,+ forever and ever.

 9 I will praise you forever because you have taken action;+

In the presence of your loyal ones,

I will hope in your name,+ for it is good.
