1To the chief Musician5329, Maschil4905, A Psalm of David1732, when Doeg1673 the Edomite130 came935 and told5046 Saul7586, and said559 unto him, David1732 is come935 to the house1004 of Ahimelech288. Why boastest1984 thou thyself in mischief7451, O mighty1368 man? the goodness2617 of God410 endureth continually3117.
2Thy tongue3956 deviseth2803 mischiefs1942; like a sharp3913 razor8593, working6213 deceitfully7423.
3Thou lovest157 evil7451 more than good2896; and lying8267 rather than to speak1696 righteousness6664. Selah5542.
4Thou lovest157 all devouring1105 words1697, O thou deceitful4820 tongue3956.
5God410 shall likewise destroy5422 thee for ever5331, he shall take thee away2846, and pluck thee out5255 of thy dwelling place168, and root thee out8327 of the land776 of the living2416. Selah5542.
6The righteous6662 also shall see7200, and fear3372, and shall laugh7832 at him:
7Lo, this is the man1397 that made7760 not God430 his strength4581; but trusted982 in the abundance7230 of his riches6239, and strengthened5810 himself in his wickedness1942.
8But I am like a green7488 olive tree2132 in the house1004 of God430: I trust982 in the mercy2617 of God430 for ever5769 and ever5703.
9I will praise3034 thee for ever5769, because thou hast done6213 it: and I will wait6960 on thy name8034; for it is good2896 before thy saints2623.
