The Steadfast Love of God Endures
To the choirmaster. A Maskil of David, when Doeg, the Edomite, came and told Saul, “David has come to the house of Ahimelech.”
1
Why do you boast of evil, O mighty man? The steadfast love of God endures all the day.
3
You love evil more than good, and 4lying more than speaking what is right. Selah
4
You love all words that devour, O deceitful tongue.
5
But God will break you down forever; he will snatch and 5tear you from your tent; he will uproot you from 6the land of the living. Selah
7
"See the man who would not make God his refuge, but 9trusted in the abundance of his riches and sought refuge in his own destruction!"a
8
But I am like 10a green olive tree in the house of God. I trust in the steadfast love of God forever and ever.
