Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O amighty man?
The goodness of God endureth continually.
2bThy tongue deviseth cmischiefs;
dLike a sharp rasor, ddworking deceitfully.
3Thou lovest evil more than good;
And lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
Why do you boast of evil, O mighty man?
The steadfast love of God endures all the day.
Your tongue plots destruction,
like a sharp razor, you worker of deceit.
You love evil more than good,
and lying more than speaking what is right. Selah

NIVNew International Version (2011)
Why do you boast of evil, you mighty hero?
Why do you boast all day long,
you who are a disgrace in the eyes of God?
You who practice deceit,
your tongue plots destruction;
it is like a sharpened razor.
You love evil rather than good,
falsehood rather than speaking the truth.

CSBChristian Standard Bible
Why boast about evil, you hero!
God’s faithful love is constant.
Like a sharpened razor,
your tongue devises destruction,
working treachery.
You love evil instead of good,
lying instead of speaking truthfully.
Selah

NLTNew Living Translation
Why do you boast about your crimes, great warrior?
Don’t you realize God’s justice continues forever?
All day long you plot destruction.
Your tongue cuts like a sharp razor;
you’re an expert at telling lies.
You love evil more than good
and lies more than truth.
