3Why doest thou glory in malice, which art mighty in iniquity?WHY doeſt thou glorie in malice, which art mightie in iniquitie?Quid gloriaris in malitia, qui potens es in iniquitate ?
4All the day hath thy tongue thought injustice: as a sharp razor thou hast done guile.Al the day hath thy tongue thought iniuſtice: as a ſharp raſor thou haſt done guile.Tota die injustitiam cogitavit lingua tua ; sicut novacula acuta fecisti dolum.
5Thou hast loved malice more than benignitatem: kindness, graciousness: iniquity rather than to speak equity.Thou haſt loued malice more then benignitie: iniquitie rather then to ſpeake equitie.Dilexisti malitiam super benignitatem ; iniquitatem magis quam loqui æquitatem.
6Thou hast loved all words of præcipitationis: rainfall; a headlong casting down, ruinous overthrow, a deceitful tongue.Thou haſt loued al wordes of precipitation, a deceitful tongue.Dilexisti omnia verba præcipitationis ; lingua dolosa.
7Therefore will God destroy thee for ever, he will pluck thee out, and remove thee out of thy tabernacle: and thy root out of the land of the living.Therfore Wil God deſtroy thee for euer, he wil plucke thee out, & remoue thee out of thy tabernacle: & thy roote out of the land of the liuing.Propterea Deus destruet te in finem ; evellet te, et emigrabit te de tabernaculo tuo, et radicem tuam de terra viventium.
8The just shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him, and they shall say:The iuſt ſhal ſee, and feare, and ſhal laugh at him, and they ſhal ſay:Videbunt justi, et timebunt ; et super eum ridebunt, et dicent :
9Behold the man, that hath not put God for his helper. But hath hoped in the multitude of his riches, and hath prevailed in his vanity.Behold the man, that hath not put God for his helper. But hath hoped in the multitude of his riches, and hath preualed in his vanitie.Ecce homo qui non posuit Deum adjutorem suum ; sed speravit in multitudine divitiarum suarum, et prævaluit in vanitate sua.
10But I as a fruitful olive tree in the house of God, have hoped in the mercy of God for ever: and for ever and ever.But I as a fruitful oliue tree in the houſe of God, haue hoped in the mercie of God for euer: and for euer and euer.Ego autem, sicut oliva fructifera in domo Dei ; speravi in misericordia Dei, in æternum et in sæculum sæculi.
11I will confess to thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will expect thy name, because it is good in the sight of thy saints:I wil confeſſe to thee for euer, becauſe thou haſt done it: and I wil expect thy name, becauſe it is good in the ſight of thy ſaints:Confitebor tibi in sæculum, quia fecisti ; et exspectabo nomen tuum, quoniam bonum est in conspectu sanctorum tuorum.
