| 1 | For the Leader. Maschil of David; |
| 1a | — |
| 2 | when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him: 'David is come to the house of Ahimelech.' |
| 3 | Why boastest thou thyself of evil, O mighty man? The mercy of God endureth continually. |
| 4 | Thy tongue deviseth destruction; Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully. |
| 5 | Thou lovest evil more than good; Falsehood rather than speaking righteousness. Selah |
| 6 | Thou lovest all devouring words, The deceitful tongue. |
| 7 | God will likewise break thee for ever, He will take thee up, and pluck thee out of thy tent, And root thee out of the land of the living. Selah |
| 8 | The righteous also shall see, and fear, And shall laugh at him: |
| 9 | 'Lo, this is the man that made not God his stronghold; But trusted in the abundance of his riches, And strengthened himself in his wickedness.' |
| 10 | But as for me, I am like a leafy olive-tree in the house of God; I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever. |
| 11 | I will give Thee thanks for ever, because Thou hast done it; And I will wait for Thy name, for it is good, in the presence of Thy saints. |
