PSAL. LII 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.
O Man of might, wherefore dost thou thus boast thy self in ill? The goodness of the mighty God, endureth ever still. verse 2 Thy tongue injurious mischief doth presumptuously devise: And like unto a razor sharp it works deceitful lies.
verse 3 Thou lovest evil more than good, more to speak lies than right. verse 4 O guileful tongue thou dost in all devouring words delight. verse 5 God shall likewise for evermore destroying thee deface: He shall thee take away, and pluck thee from thy dwelling place.
Out of the land of th' living ones he also will root thee. Selah verse 6 The just shall fear and laugh at him, when they this thing shall see. verse 7 Lo this man made not God his strength: but put his trust upon His store of wealth: he strengthened was in his transgression.
