1To the chief musician. A Contemplation. A Psalm of David when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said to him, David has come to the house of Ahimelech. Why do you boast yourself in evil, O mighty one? The mercy of God is all the day.
2Like a sharp razor your tongue devises destruction, working deceit.
3You love evil more than good, lying more than to speak righteousness. Selah.
4You love all devouring words, O deceitful tongue!
5God will likewise break you forever; He shall take you away, even pluck you from your tent and uproot you out of the land of the living. Selah.
6And the righteous ones shall see and fear; yea, they will laugh over him, saying,
7Behold, the man who did not set God as his strength; but he trusted in his many riches; he was strong in his destruction.
8But I am like a luxuriant olive tree in the house of God; I trust in the kindness of God forever and ever.
9I will thank You forever, because You have done it; and I will hope in Your name, for it is good before Your godly ones.
