019:052:001
Why boastest thou thyself in mischief,
O mighty man?
the goodness of God endureth continually.

019:052:002
The tongue deviseth mischiefs;
like a sharp razor,
working deceitfully.

019:052:003
Thou lovest evil more than good;
and lying rather than to speak righteousness.
Selah.

019:052:004
Thou lovest all devouring words,
O thou deceitful tongue.

019:052:005
God shall likewise destroy thee for ever,
he shall take thee away,
and pluck thee out of thy dwelling place,
and root thee out of the land of the living.
Selah.

019:052:006
The righteous also shall see,
and fear,
and shall laugh at him:

019:052:007
Lo,
this is the man that made not God his strength;
but trusted in the abundance of his riches,
and strengthened himself in his wickedness.

019:052:008
But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God:
I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.

019:052:009
I will praise thee for ever,
because thou hast done it:
and I will wait on thy name;
for it is good before thy saints.
