Holman Christian Standard BibleBerean Study Bible
1For the choir director. A Davidic Maskil. When Doeg the Edomite went and reported to Saul, telling him, "David went to Ahimelech's house." Why brag about evil, you hero! God's faithful love is constant. 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.
2Like a sharpened razor, your tongue devises destruction, working treachery. 2Your tongue devises destruction like a sharpened razor, O worker of deceit.
3You love evil instead of good, lying instead of speaking truthfully. Selah 3You love evil more than good, falsehood more than speaking truth. Selah
4You love any words that destroy, you treacherous tongue! 4You love every word that devours, O deceitful tongue.
5This is why God will bring you down forever. He will take you, ripping you out of your tent; He will uproot you from the land of the living. Selah 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
6The righteous will look on with awe and will ridicule him:" 6The righteous will see and fear; they will mock the evildoer, saying,
7Here is the man who would not make God his refuge, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, taking refuge in his destructive behavior." 7“Look at the man who did not make God his refuge, but trusted in the abundance of his wealth and strengthened himself by destruction.”
8But I am like a flourishing olive tree in the house of God; I trust in God's faithful love forever and ever. 8But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in the loving devotion of God forever and ever.
9I will praise You forever for what You have done. In the presence of Your faithful people, I will put my hope in Your name, for it is good. 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.
