1“For the leader of the music. A psalm of David, when Doeg, the Edomite, came and told Saul, and said to him, David is come to the house of Abimelech.” Why gloriest thou in mischief, thou man of violence? The goodness of God yet continueth daily.
2Thy tongue deviseth mischief, Like a sharp razor, thou contriver of deceit!
3Thou lovest evil more than good, And to lie more than to speak truth. Pause.
4Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue!
5Thee also shall God utterly destroy! o He shall seize thee, and tear thee from thy dwelling-place, And uproot thee from the land of the living. Pause.
