The Book of Psalms

[To 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 hero? The mercy of God [is] all the day.

Like a sharp razor, your tongue devises ruin, working deceit.

You love evil more than good; lying more than to speak righteousness. Selah.

You love all devouring words, O deceitful tongue!

God 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.

And the righteous shall see and fear; yea, they [will] laugh over him, [saying],

Behold, the man [who] did not make God his strength; but he trusted in his many riches; he was strong in his destruction.

But I [am] like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever.

I will thank You forever, because You have done [it]; and I will hope [in] Your name, for [it is] good before Your saints.
