To the chief musician; an instruction of David, when Doeg the Edomite went in, and told Saul and said to him, David went to the house of Ahimelech.{HR}Why boastest thou thyself in evil, mighty man?{HR}The mercy of God [is] all the day.
Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs,{HR}As a sharp razor, working deceit.
Thou hast loved evil [rather] than good,{HR}Falsehood [rather] than speaking righteousness. Selah.
Thou hast loved all words of devouring,{HR}O tongue of deceit.
God shall likewise destroy thee forever;{HR}He shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of tent,{HR}And root thee out of the land of the living. Selah.
The righteous also shall see and fear,{HR}And laugh at him.
Behold, the man that made not God his strength,{HR}But confided in the abundance of his riches;{HR}He strengthened himself in his wickedness.
But for me, I [am] like a green olive tree in the house of God;{HR}I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.
I will praise thee forever,{HR}For thou hast done [it],{HR}And I will hope in thy name,{HR}For [it is] good before thy saints.
