[unspec A] 1 WHy boastest thy self thou tiraunt of mischiefe? the goodnes of God dayly endureth.
2 Thy tongue imagineth wickednes: [and] deceaueth like a sharpe raser.
3 Thou hast loued vngratiousnes more then goodnes: and to talke of falshood more then of righteousnes. Selah.
4 Thou hast loued to speake all wordes that may do hurt: O thou deceiptfull tongue.
5 Therfore the Lord wyll destroy thee for euer: he wyll take thee and plucke thee out of thy dwelling, and roote thee out of the lande of the liuing. Selah.
6 The righteous also shall see this: and they wyll be afraide and laugh hym to scorne.
7 [Saying] lo this is the man that put [unspec B] not the Lorde [to be] his strength: but trusted vnto the multitude of his riches, and strengthed him selfe in his wicked∣nesse.
8 As for me I am lyke a greene oliue tree in the house of the Lorde: my trust is in the tender mercy of the Lorde for euer and euer.
9 I will alway confesse it vnto thee, for that thou hast (a) 1.1 done it: and I wyll hope in thy name, for it is good in the sight of thy saintes.
