“1 ¶ <<To the chief Musician, Maschil, [A Psalm] of David, when Doeg the
Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto 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.” (Psalms 52:1-9 AV)
