To the chief Musician, Maschil, A Psalm 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 goodness of God endureth continually.
02 The tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp
razor, working deceitfully.
03 Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying
rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.
04 Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou
deceitful tongue.
05 God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he
shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of thy
dwelling place, and root thee out of the land of
the living. Selah.

06 The righteous also shall see, and fear, and
shall laugh at him:
07 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.
08 But I am like a green olive tree in the house
of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and
ever.
09 I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast
done it: and I will wait on thy name; for it is
good before thy saints.
