The Steadfast Love of God Endures
To the choirmaster. A Maskil of David, when aDoeg, the Edomite, came and told Saul, “David has come to the house of Ahimelech.”
Why do you boast of evil, O mighty man?
The steadfast love of God endures all the day.
2 Your atongue plots destruction,
like ba sharp razor, you cworker of deceit.
3 You love evil more than good,
and alying more than speaking what is right. Selah
4 You love all words that devour,
O deceitful tongue.
5 But God will break you down forever;
he will snatch and atear you from your tent;
he will uproot you from bthe land of the living. Selah
6 The righteous shall asee and fear,
and shall blaugh at him, saying,
7 “See the man who would not make
God his refuge,
but atrusted in the abundance of his riches
and sought refuge in his own destruction!”
8 But I am like aa green olive tree
in the house of God.
I trust in the steadfast love of God
forever and ever.
9 I will thank you forever,
because you have done it.
I will wait for your name, afor it is good,
in the presence of the bgodly.
