Verse YLT Young's Literal Translation BSB Berean Standard Bible

To the Overseer . -- An instruction, by David, in the coming in of Doeg the Edomite , and he declareth to Saul , and saith to him, ` David came in unto the house of Ahimelech. ' What, boasteth thou in evil, O mighty one ? The kindness of God `is' all the day.

For 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 .

Mischiefs doth thy tongue devise, Like a sharp razor, working deceit.

Your tongue devises destruction like a sharpened razor, O worker of deceit.

Thou hast loved evil rather than good, Lying, than speaking righteousness . Selah .

You love evil more than good, falsehood more than speaking truth . Selah

Thou hast loved all devouring words , O thou deceitful tongue.

You love every word that devours , O deceitful tongue.

Also -- God doth break thee down for ever, Taketh thee, and pulleth thee out of the tent , And He hath uprooted thee Out of the land of the living. Selah .

Surely 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

And the righteous see , And fear, and laugh at him.

The righteous will see and fear ; they will mock the evildoer , saying,

`Lo, the man who maketh not God his strong place , And trusteth in the abundance of his riches, He is strong in his mischiefs . '

“Look at the man who did not make God his refuge , but trusted in the abundance of his wealth and strengthened himself by destruction . ”

And I , as a green olive in the house of God , I have trusted in the kindness of God , To the age and for ever ,

But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God ; I trust in the loving devotion of God forever and ever .

I thank Thee to the age , because Thou hast done ` it ', And I wait ` on ' Thy name for ` it is ' good before Thy saints !

I 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 .
