A green olive tree
Why do you boast about evil, mighty man? God's goodness never runs out. Your tongue thinks up ruin, working like a sharpened razor, working deceit. You love evil more than good, and lying more than speaking righteousness. Selah. You love every devouring word, you deceitful tongue. God will break you down forever too. He'll take you and pluck you out of your tent and pull your root out of the land of the living. Selah. The righteous will see it too and be afraid, and they'll laugh at him: Look at the man who wouldn't make God his strength, but trusted in the size of his riches and strengthened himself in wickedness. But I'm like a green olive tree in the house of God. I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever. I'll praise you forever because you have done it, and I'll wait on your name, because it is good before your saints.

Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth continually. Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully. Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah. Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue. God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of thy dwelling place, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah. The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him: Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness. 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 will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name; for it is good before thy saints.
