You love to do evil things,
    not good things.
You love to tell lies
    more than the truth.
Selah.
You love to say cruel words.
    You speak to deceive others.
But God will knock you down,
    and he will break you into pieces.
He will take you away from your home.
He will remove you from this world where people live.
Selah.

You love every harmful word,
    you deceitful tongue!(C)

    He will snatch you up and pluck(D) you from your tent;
    he will uproot(E) you from the land of the living.(F)
