I Trust in the Lovingkindness of God
For the choir director. A Maskil of David. When Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul and said to him, “David has come to the house of Ahimelech.”
Why do you aboast in evil, O mighty man?
The blovingkindness of God endures all day long.
2 Your tongue devises adestruction,
Like a bsharp razor, cO worker of deceit.
3 You alove evil more than good,
bFalsehood more than speaking what is right. Selah.
4 You love all words that devour,
O adeceitful tongue.
5 But God will break you down forever;
He will snatch you up and atear you away from your tent,
And buproot you from the cland of the living, Selah.
6 So that the righteous will asee and fear,
And will blaugh at him, saying,
7 “Behold, the man who would not set God as his strength,
But atrusted in the abundance of his riches
And bwas strong in his destruction.”
8 But as for me, I am like a agreen olive tree in the house of God;
I btrust in the lovingkindness of God forever and ever.
9 I will agive You thanks forever, because You have done it,
And I will hope on Your name, bfor it is good, in the presence of Your holy ones.
