1 - To the chief Musician, Maschil, [A Psalm] of David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said to him, David is come to the house of Ahimelech. Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God [endureth] continually.

2 - Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

3 - Thou lovest evil more than good; [and] lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.

4 - Thou lovest all devouring words, O [thou] deceitful tongue.

5 - God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of [thy] dwelling-place, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah.

6 - The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:

7 - Lo, [this is] the man [that] made not 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 for ever and ever.

9 - I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done [it]: and I will wait on thy name; for [it is] good before thy saints.
