1 O Mighty man in wickedness, Why boastest thou [thy self] with pride? God's goodness to his people will [Surely] for evermore abide.
2 Thy tongue speaks mischief, which thy heart [Plots and] deviseth wickedly; And like a sharpened razor cuts, And works [by lies] deceitfully.
2 Thy tongue speaks mischief, which thy heart [Plots and] deviseth wickedly; And like a sharpned rasor cuts, And works [by lies] deceitfully.
3 Thou lovest evil more than good, And lying more than [to speak] right; Thou false tongue all devouring words Thou lovest with [cruel] delight.
