[6]Thou lovest all devouring words, the deceitful tongue. [No book]
[7]God will likewise break thee for ever, He will take thee up, and pluck thee out of thy tent, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah [No book]

[9]'Lo, this is the man that made not God his stronghold; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.' [No book]
[10]But as for me, I am like a leafy olive-tree in the house of God; I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever. [No book]
[11]I will give Thee thanks for ever, because Thou hast done it; and I will wait for Thy name, for it is good, in the presence of Thy saints. [No book]
