For the music leader, a skillful song of David.

When Do'eg the Edomite came and told Sha'ul, saying to him, 'David came to the house of Aḥimelekh.'

Why do you boast in evil, mighty one? The kindness of Elohim is all day.

Your tongue plots destruction, like a sharpened razor, you doer of deceit.

You loved evil more than good, falsehood more than speaking righteousness. Selah.

You loved all destructive words, a tongue of deceit. Selah.

So Elohim will tear you down forever; He will snatch you away, He will uproot you from the tent, and He will pull you out from the land of the living. Selah.

And the righteous will see and fear, and they will laugh at him.

Look, the man did not make Elohim his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, he became strong in his destruction.

But I am like a green olive tree in the house of Elohim; I have trusted in the kindness of Elohim forever and ever.

I will thank You forever because You acted, and I will wait for Your name because it is good before Your devoted ones.
