Psalms 51

1 For the end, a Psalm of instruction by David,
2 when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said to him, David is gone to the house of Ahimelech.
3 Why dost thou, O mighty man, boast of iniquity in thy mischief? All the day
4 thy tongue has devised unrighteousness; Like a sharpened razor thou hast wrought deceit.
5 Thou hast loved wickedness more than goodness; Unrighteousness better than to speak righteousness. Pause.
6 Thou hast loved all words of destruction, And a deceitful tongue.
7 Therefore may God destroy thee forever, May he pluck thee up and utterly remove thee from thy dwelling, And thy root from the land of the living. Pause.
8 And the righteous shall see, and fear, And shall laugh at him, and say,
9 Behold the man who made not God his help; But trusted in the abundance of his wealth, And strengthened himself in his vanity.
10 But I am as a fruitful olive in the house of God: I have trusted in the mercy of God Forever, even for evermore.
11 I will give thanks to thee forever, for thou hast done it: And I will wait on thy name; For it is good before thy saints.
