5 God shall likewise destroy you forever;
He shall take you away, and pluck you out of your dwelling place,
And uproot you from the land of the living. Selah

6 The righteous also shall see and fear,
And shall laugh at him, saying,

7 “Here is the man who did not make God his strength,
But trusted in the abundance of his riches,
And strengthened himself in his¹ wickedness.” ‡

8 But I am ^alike a green olive tree in the house of God;
I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever. ‡
