For the wicked boasts of his heart’s desire, And the greedy man curses and spurns the Lord.

His mouth is full of curses and deceit and oppression; Under his tongue is mischief and wickedness.

For those blessed by Him will inherit the land, But those cursed by Him will be cut off.

On account of the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips, Let them even be caught in their pride, And on account of curses and lies which they utter.

They have counseled only to thrust him down from his high position; They delight in falsehood; They bless with their mouth, But inwardly they curse. Selah.

My enemies have reproached me all day long; Those who deride me have used my name as a curse.

Let them curse, but You bless; When they arise, they shall be ashamed, But Your servant shall be glad.

You rebuke the arrogant, the cursed, Who wander from Your commandments.
