Why boastest thou thyself in mischief , O mighty man ? the goodness of God endureth continually .

Mischiefs doth thy tongue devise, Like a sharp razor, working deceit .

But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God : I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.

I thank Thee to the age , because Thou hast done ` it ', And I wait ` on ' Thy name for ` it is ' good before Thy saints !
I will praise thee for ever , because thou hast done it : and I will wait on thy name ; for it is good before thy saints .
