For the Chief Musician. A contemplation by David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, “David has come to Ahimelech’s house.”

Why do you boast of mischief, mighty man?
God’s loving kindness endures continually.
[2] Your tongue plots destruction,
like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
[3] You love evil more than good,
lying rather than speaking the truth.
Selah.
[4] You love all devouring words,
you deceitful tongue.
[5] God will likewise destroy you forever.
He will take you up, and pluck you out of your tent,
and root you out of the land of the living.
Selah.
[6] The righteous also will see it, and fear,
and laugh at him, saying,
[7] “Behold, this is the man who didn’t make 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 God’s house.
I trust in God’s loving kindness forever and ever.
[9] I will give you thanks forever, because you have done it.
I will hope in your name, for it is good,
in the presence of your saints.

Why boastestH1984(HithImpf) thou thyself in mischief,H7451 O mightyH1368 man? the goodnessH2617 of GodH410 [endureth] continually.H3117
[2] Thy tongueH3956 devisethH2803(QalImpf) mischiefs;H1942 like a sharpH3913(PualPtc) razor,H8593 workingH6213(QalActPtc) deceitfully.H7423 [3] Thou lovestH157(QalPerf) evilH7451 more than good;H2896 [and] lyingH8267 rather than to speakH1696(PielInf) righteousness.H6664 Selah.H5542 [4] Thou lovestH157(QalPerf) all devouringH1105 words,H1697 O [thou] deceitfulH4820 tongue.H3956 [5] GodH410 shall likewise destroyH5422(QalImpf) thee for ever,H5331 he shall take thee away,H2846(QalImpf) and pluck thee outH5255(QalImpf) of [thy] dwelling place,H168 and root thee outH8327(PielPerf) of the landH776 of the living.H2416 Selah.H5542 [6] The righteousH6662 also shall see,H7200(QalImpf) and fear,H3372(QalImpf) and shall laughH7832(QalImpf) at him: [7] Lo, [this is] the manH1397 [that] madeH7760(QalImpf) not GodH430 his strength;H4581 but trustedH982(QalImpf) in the abundanceH7230 of his riches,H6239 [and] strengthenedH5810(QalImpf) himself in his wickedness.H1942 [8] But I [am] like a greenH7488 olive treeH2132 in the houseH1004 of God:H430 I trustH982(QalPerf) in the mercyH2617 of GodH430 for everH5769 and ever.H5703 [9] I will praiseH3034(HiphImpf) thee for ever,H5769 because thou hast doneH6213(QalPerf) [it]: and I will waitH6960(PielImpf) on thy name;H8034 for [it is] goodH2896 before thy saints.H2623
