  1.  O mighty man, why boast you of evil,
      Scheming and devising subtle mischief and lies?
      Like a sharp razor does your tongue speak;
      Planning destruction against godly men.
      You despise good and evil do you love;
      Falsehood do you prefer to speaking the truth.

  2.  Why do you boast when God is most gracious,
      Kind and merciful and ever loving and good?
      Since you trust in falsehood and your great wealth;
      God will remove you, uproot you from life.
      Those who trust God shall see and be in awe;
      They shall laugh at you for all your folly and pride.

  3.  O see the man who made not God his strength.
      For he sought refuge in abundance of wealth.
      But in God's mercy, in His steadfast love,
      And His great kindness, in these do I trust.
      And in God's house, like an olive green am I;
      I will praise Him and proclaim His great name!
