¹[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.] Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth continually.לַמְנַצֵּ֗חַ מַשְׂכִּ֥יל לְדָוִֽד
²Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.בְּב֤וֹא דּוֹאֵ֣ג הָאֲדֹמִי֮ וַיַּגֵּ֪ד לְשָׁ֫א֥וּל וַיֹּ֥אמֶר בָּ֥א דָ֝וִ֗ד אֶל בֵּ֥ית אֲחִימֶֽלֶךְ
³Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.מַה תִּתְהַלֵּ֣ל בְּ֭רָעָה הַגִּבּ֑וֹר חֶ֥סֶד אֵ֝֗ל כָּל הַיּֽוֹם
⁴Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.הַ֭וּוֹת תַּחְשֹׁ֣ב לְשׁוֹנֶ֑ךָ כְּתַ֥עַר מְ֝לֻטָּ֗שׁ עֹשֵׂ֥ה רְמִיָּֽה
⁵God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of thy dwelling place, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah.אָהַ֣בְתָּ רָּ֣ע מִטּ֑וֹב שֶׁ֓קֶר מִדַּבֵּ֖ר צֶ֣דֶק סֶֽלָה
⁶The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:אָהַ֥בְתָּ כָֽל דִּבְרֵי בָ֗לַע לְשׁ֣וֹן מִרְמָֽה
⁷Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.גַּם אֵל֮ יִתָּצְךָ֪ לָ֫נֶ֥צַח יַחְתְּךָ֣ וְיִסָּחֲךָ֣ מֵאֹ֑הֶל וְשֵֽׁרֶשְׁךָ֨ מֵאֶ֖רֶץ חַיִּ֣ים סֶֽלָה
⁸But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.וְיִרְא֖וּ צַדִּיקִ֥ים וְיִירָ֗אוּ וְעָלָ֥יו יִשְׂחָֽקוּ
⁹I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name; for it is good before thy saints.הִנֵּ֤ה הַגֶּ֗בֶר לֹ֤א יָשִׂ֥ים אֱלֹהִ֗ים מָֽע֫וּזּ֥וֹ וַ֭יִּבְטַח בְּרֹ֣ב עָשְׁר֑וֹ יָ֝עֹ֗ז בְּהַוָּתֽוֹ
