1For the choirmaster. A Maskil of David. After Doeg the Edomite went to Saul and told him, “David has gone to the house of Ahimelech.” Why do you boast of evil, O mighty man? The loving devotion of God [endures] all day long. 1לַמְנַצֵּ֗חַ מַשְׂכִּ֥יל לְדָוִֽד׃ בְּב֤וֹא ׀ דּוֹאֵ֣ג הָאֲדֹמִי֮ וַיַּגֵּ֪ד לְשָׁ֫א֥וּל וַיֹּ֥אמֶר ל֑וֹ בָּ֥א דָ֝וִ֗ד אֶל־ בֵּ֥ית אֲחִימֶֽלֶךְ׃ מַה־ תִּתְהַלֵּ֣ל בְּ֭רָעָה הַגִּבּ֑וֹר חֶ֥סֶד אֵ֝֗ל כָּל־ הַיּֽוֹם׃
2Your tongue devises destruction like a sharpened razor, O worker of deceit. 2הַ֭וּוֹת תַּחְשֹׁ֣ב לְשׁוֹנֶ֑ךָ כְּתַ֥עַר מְ֝לֻטָּ֗שׁ עֹשֵׂ֥ה רְמִיָּֽה׃
3You love evil more than good, falsehood more than speaking the truth. Selah 3אָהַ֣בְתָּ רָּ֣ע מִטּ֑וֹב שֶׁ֓קֶר ׀ מִדַּבֵּ֖ר צֶ֣דֶק סֶֽלָה׃
4You love every word that devours, O deceitful tongue. 4אָהַ֥בְתָּ כָֽל־ דִּבְרֵי־ בָ֗לַע לְשׁ֣וֹן מִרְמָֽה׃
5Surely God will bring you down to everlasting ruin; He will snatch you up and tear you away from [your] tent; He will uproot you from the land of the living. Selah 5גַּם־ אֵל֮ יִתָּצְךָ֪ לָ֫נֶ֥צַח יַחְתְּךָ֣ וְיִסָּחֲךָ֣ מֵאֹ֑הֶל וְשֵֽׁרֶשְׁךָ֨ מֵאֶ֖רֶץ חַיִּ֣ים סֶֽלָה׃
6The righteous will see and fear; they will mock [the evildoer], saying, 6וְיִרְא֖וּ צַדִּיקִ֥ים וְיִירָ֗אוּ וְעָלָ֥יו יִשְׂחָֽקוּ׃
7“Look at the man who did not make God his refuge, but trusted in the abundance of his wealth, who strengthened himself by bringing destruction.” 7הִנֵּ֤ה הַגֶּ֗בֶר לֹ֤א יָשִׂ֥ים אֱלֹהִ֗ים מָֽע֫וּזּ֥וֹ וַ֭יִּבְטַח בְּרֹ֣ב עָשְׁר֑וֹ יָ֝עֹ֗ז בְּהַוָּתֽוֹ׃
8But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in the loving devotion of God forever and ever. 8וַאֲנִ֤י ׀ כְּזַ֣יִת רַ֭עֲנָן בְּבֵ֣ית אֱלֹהִ֑ים בָּטַ֥חְתִּי בְחֶֽסֶד־ אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים עוֹלָ֥ם וָעֶֽד׃
9I will praise You forever, because You have done it. I will wait on Your name— for it is good— in the presence of Your saints. 9אוֹדְךָ֣ לְ֭עוֹלָם כִּ֣י עָשִׂ֑יתָ וַאֲקַוֶּ֖ה שִׁמְךָ֥ כִֽי־ ט֝֗וֹב נֶ֣גֶד חֲסִידֶֽיךָ׃
