| | 1 | To the Chief Musician. A Contemplation of David when Doeg the Edomite went and told Saul, and said to him, 'David has gone to the house of Ahimelech.' Why do you boast in evil, O mighty man? The goodness of God endures continually. | |
| | 2 | Your tongue devises destruction, Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully. | |
| | 3 | You love evil more than good, Lying rather than speaking righteousness. Selah | |
| | 4 | You love all devouring words, You deceitful tongue. | |
| | 5 | God shall likewise destroy you forever; He shall take you away, and pluck you out of your dwelling place, And uproot you from the land of the living. Selah | |
| | 6 | The righteous also shall see and fear, And shall laugh at him, saying, | |
| | 7 | "Here is the man who did not make God his strength, But trusted in the abundance of his riches, And strengthened himself in his wickedness." | |
| | 8 | But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever. | |
| | 9 | I will praise You forever, Because You have done it; And in the presence of Your saints I will wait on Your name, for it is good. | |
