1 For the Chief Musician. Maschil of David; when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David is come to the house of Ahimelech.
Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man?
The lovingkindness of God [endureth] continually. 2 Thy tongue deviseth very wickedness,
Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully. 3 Thou lovest evil more than good,
And lying rather than to speak righteousness. [Selah 4 Thou lovest all devouring words,
O thou deceitful tongue. 5 God will likewise destroy thee for ever;
He will take thee up, and pluck thee out of thy tent,
And root thee out of the land of the living. [Selah 6 The righteous also shall see [it], and fear,
And shall laugh at him, [saying], 7 Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength,
But trusted in the abundance of his riches,
And strengthened himself in his wickedness. 8 But as for me, I am like a green olive-tree in the house of God:
I trust in the lovingkindness of God for ever and ever. 9 I will give thee thanks for ever, because thou hast done it;
And I will hope in thy name, for it is good, in the presence of thy saints.
