The righteous shall see, and fear,
    and shall laugh at him, saying,
“See the man who would not make
    God his refuge,
but trusted in the abundance of his riches,
    and sought refuge in his wealth!”[a]

But I am like a green olive tree
    in the house of God.
I trust in the steadfast love of God
    for ever and ever.

The righteous will see and fear;

“Here now is the man
    who did not make God his stronghold(B)

But I am like an olive tree(D)
    flourishing in the house of God;
I trust(E) in God’s unfailing love
    for ever and ever.
