God’s loyal love protects me all day long! 2 Your tongue carries out your destructive plans; it is as effective as a sharp razor, O deceiver. 3 You love evil more than good, lies more than speaking the truth.(Selah) 4 You love to use all the words that destroy, and the tongue that deceives. 5 Yet God will make you a permanent heap of ruins. He will scoop you up and remove you from your home; he will uproot you from the land of the living.(Selah) 6 When the godly see this, they will be filled with awe, and will mock the evildoer, saying: 7 “Look, here is the man who would not make God his protector! He trusted in his great wealth and was confident about his plans to destroy others.” 8 But I am like a flourishing olive tree in the house of God; I continually trust in God’s loyal love. 9 I will continually thank you when you execute judgment; I will rely on you, for your loyal followers know you are good.
