For the music director. A psalm (maskil) of David, concerning the time when Doeg the Edomite went to Saul and told him, “David has gone to the home of Ahimelech.” You great man, why do you boast about the evil things you've done? God's trustworthy love lasts all day long.

2 desire to devise: devise tongue your like/as razor to sharpen to make: do deceit

You plot to make people suffer; your words cut like a sharp razor, you liar!

3 to love: lover bad: evil from good deception from to speak: speak righteousness (Selah)

You love evil more than good, and telling lies more than speaking the truth. (Selah)

4 to love: lover all word swallowing tongue deceit

You love slanderous words that destroy others, you liar!

5 also God to tear you to/for perpetuity to snatch up you and to pull you from tent and to uproot you from land: country/planet alive (Selah)

But God will strike you down so hard you'll never get up. He will grab hold of you and drag you from your tent. He will tear you out of the land of the living. (Selah)

6 and to see: see righteous and to fear: revere and upon him to laugh

Those who do right will see all this. They will be astonished and laugh, saying,

7 behold [the] great man not to set: make God security his and to trust in/on/with abundance riches his be strong in/on/with desire his

“See what happens to those who don't go to God for help but instead rely on their great wealth and strength—which only brings their destruction!”

8 and I like/as olive luxuriant in/on/with house: temple God to trust in/on/with kindness God forever: enduring and perpetuity

But I'm like an olive tree growing strongly in God's house. I trust in God's unfailing love forever and ever.

9 to give thanks you to/for forever: enduring for to make: do and to await name your for pleasant before pious your

I will praise you forever, God, for all you have done. In the presence of your trustworthy people, I will place my hope in the kind of person you are, for you are good.
