1 Why do you boast of mischief, mighty man?

God’s loving kindness endures continually.

2 Your tongue plots destruction,

like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

3 You love evil more than good,

lying rather than speaking the truth. Selah.

4 You love all devouring words,

you deceitful tongue.

5 God will likewise destroy you forever.

He will take you up, and pluck you out of your tent,

and root you out of the land of the living. Selah.

6 The righteous also will see it, and fear,

and laugh at him, saying,

7 "Behold, this is the man who didn’t make God his strength,

but trusted in the abundance of his riches,

and strengthened himself in his wickedness."

8 But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in God’s house.

I trust in God’s loving kindness forever and ever.

9 I will give you thanks forever, because you have done it.

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

in the presence of your saints.

1 勇士啊！ 你为什么以作恶自夸呢？ 神的慈爱是常存的。

2 你图谋毁灭， 你的舌头锋利像剃刀， 常弄诡诈。

3 你喜爱作恶过于行善， 喜爱撒谎过于说实话。（细拉）

4 你喜爱你诡诈的舌头， 所说一切毁灭人的话。

5 神必把你永远拆毁； 他必把你挪去， 把你从帐棚中揪出来， 把你从活人之地连根拔起。（细拉）

6 义人必看见而惧怕； 他们必讥笑他， 说：

7 "看哪！ 这就是那不以 神为自己保障的人， 他只倚靠自己丰盛的财富， 以毁灭别人来加强自己的力量。"

8 至于我， 我就像 神殿中茂盛的橄榄树一样； 我倚靠 神的慈爱， 直到永永远远。

9 我要永远称谢你， 因为你行了这事； 我必在你圣民的面前， 宣扬（"宣扬"原文作"仰望"）你的名， 因你的名是美好的。
