For the music leader / / / A maskil of David when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, "David has gone to Ahimelech's house" / / /
Hey, powerful person!
Why do you brag about evil?
God's faithful love lasts all day long.
Your tongue devises destruction;
it's like a sharpened razor, causing deception.
You love evil more than good;
you love lying more than speaking what is right. - - SELAH.
You love all destructive words; you love the deceiving tongue.
But God will take you down permanently;
he will snatch you up,
tear you out of your tent,
and uproot you from the land of the living! - - SELAH.
The righteous will see and be in awe;
they will laugh at those people:
"Look at them! They didn't make God their refuge.
Instead they trusted in their own great wealth.
They sought refuge in it - - to their own destruction!"
But I am like a green olive tree in God's house;
I trust in God's faithful love forever and always.
I will give thanks to you, God, forever,
because you have acted.
In the presence of your faithful people,
I will hope in your name because it's so good.
