New American Standard Bible Futility of Boastful Wickedness. 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. 1Why do you boast in evil, O mighty man? The lovingkindness of God endures all day long.
2Your tongue devises destruction,
3You love evil more than good, Selah.
4You love all words that devour,
5But God will break you down forever; Selah.
6The righteous will see and fear,
7Behold, the man who would not make God his refuge,
8But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in the house of God;
9I will give You thanks forever, because You have done it, New American Standard Bible Copyright © 1960, 1962, 1963, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation, La Habra, Calif. All rights reserved. For Permission to Quote Information visit http://www.lockman.org Bible Hub |
