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

[1] 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.
King James Version

To the chief Musician, H5329 (PielPtc) Maschil, H4905 (HiphPtc) A Psalm of David, H1732 when Doeg H1673 the Edomite H130 came H935 (QalInf) and told H5046 (HiphImpf) Saul, H7586 and said H559 (QalImpf) unto him, David H1732 is come H935 (QalPerf) to the house H1004 of Ahimelech. H288

[1] Why boastest H1984 (HithImpf) thou thyself in mischief, H7451 O mighty H1368 man?
The goodness H2617 of God H410 endureth continually. H3117
[2] Thy tongue H3956 deviseth H2803 (QalImpf) mischiefs; H1942
Like a sharp H3913 (PualPtc) razor, H8593 working H6213 (QalActPtc) deceitfully. H7423
[3] Thou lovest H157 (QalPerf) evil H7451 more than good; H2896
And lying H8267 rather than to speak H1696 (PielInf) righteousness. H6664 Selah. H5542
[4] Thou lovest H157 (QalPerf) all devouring H1105 words, H1697
O thou deceitful H4820 tongue. H3956§
[5] God H410 shall likewise destroy H5422 (QalImpf) thee§ for ever, H5331
He shall take thee away, H2846 (QalImpf) and pluck thee out H5255 (QalImpf) of thy dwelling place, H168 and root thee out H8327 (PielPerf) of the land H776 of the living. H2416 Selah. H5542
[6] The righteous H6662 also shall see, H7200 (QalImpf) and fear, H3372 (QalImpf)
And shall laugh H7832 (QalImpf) at him:
[7] Lo, this is the man H1397 that made H7760 (QalImpf) not God H430 his strength; H4581
But trusted H982 (QalImpf) in the abundance H7230 of his riches, H6239 and strengthened H5810 (QalImpf) himself in his wickedness. H1942§
[8] But I am like a green H7488 olive tree H2132 in the house H1004 of God: H430
I trust H982 (QalPerf) in the mercy H2617 of God H430 for ever H5769 and ever. H5703
[9] I will praise H3034 (HiphImpf) thee for ever, H5769 because thou hast done H6213 (QalPerf) it:
And I will wait H6960 (PielImpf) on thy name; H8034 for it is good H2896 before thy saints. H2623
