1 <To the chief music-maker. Maschil. Of David. When Doeg the Edomite came to Saul saying, David has come to the house of Ahimelech.> Why do you take pride in wrongdoing, lifting yourself up against the upright man all the day?

1 לַמְנַצֵּ֗חַ מַשְׂכִּ֥יל לְדָוִֽד׃

2 Purposing destruction, using deceit; your tongue is like a sharp blade.

2 בְּבֹ֤וא׀ דֹּואֵ֣ג הָאֲדֹמִי֮ וַיַּגֵּ֪ד לְשָׁ֫א֥וּל וַיֹּ֥אמֶר לֹ֑ו בָּ֥א דָ֝וִ֗ד אֶל־בֵּ֥ית אֲחִימֶֽלֶךְ׃

3 You have more love for evil than for good, for deceit than for works of righteousness. (Selah.)

3 מַה־תִּתְהַלֵּ֣ל בְּ֭רָעָה הַגִּבֹּ֑ור חֶ֥סֶד אֵ֝֗ל כָּל־הַיֹּֽום׃

4 Destruction is in all your words, O false tongue.

4 הַ֭וֹּות תַּחְשֹׁ֣ב לְשֹׁונֶ֑ךָ כְּתַ֥עַר מְ֝לֻטָּ֗שׁ עֹשֵׂ֥ה רְמִיָּֽה׃

5 But God will put an end to you for ever; driving you out from your tent, uprooting you from the land of the living. (Selah.)

5 אָהַ֣בְתָּ רָּ֣ע מִטֹּ֑וב שֶׁ֓קֶר׀ מִדַּבֵּ֖ר צֶ֣דֶק סֶֽלָה׃

6 The upright will see it with fear, and will say, laughing at you:

6 אָהַ֥בְתָּ כָֽל־דִּבְרֵי־בָ֗לַע לְשֹׁ֣ון מִרְמָֽה׃

7 See, this is the man who did not make God his strength, but had faith in his goods and his property, and made himself strong in his wealth.

7 גַּם־אֵל֮ יִתָּצְךָ֪ לָ֫נֶ֥צַח יַחְתְּךָ֣ וְיִסָּחֲךָ֣ מֵאֹ֑הֶל וְשֵֽׁרֶשְׁךָ֙ מֵאֶ֖רֶץ חַיִּ֣ים סֶֽלָה׃

8 But I am like a branching olive-tree in the house of God; I have put my faith in his mercy for ever and ever.

8 וְיִרְא֖וּ צַדִּיקִ֥ים וְיִירָ֗אוּ וְעָלָ֥יו יִשְׂחָֽקוּ׃

9 I will give you praise without end for what you have done; I will give honour to your name before your saints, for it is good.

9 הִנֵּ֤ה הַגֶּ֗בֶר לֹ֤א יָשִׂ֥ים אֱלֹהִ֗ים מָֽע֫וּזֹּ֥ו וַ֭יִּבְטַח בְּרֹ֣ב עָשְׁרֹ֑ו יָ֝עֹ֗ז בְּהַוָּתֹֽו׃
