God's Judgment and Grace [Subnote: HEBREW TITLE: A poem by David, after Doeg the Edomite went to Saul and told him that David had gone to the house of Ahimelech.]
1
Why do you boast, great man, of your evil?
God's faithfulness is eternal.
2
You make plans to ruin others;
your tongue is like a sharp razor.
You are always inventing lies.
3
You love evil more than good
and falsehood more than truth.
4
You love to hurt people with your words, you liar!
5
So God will ruin you forever;
he will take hold of you and snatch you from your home;
he will remove you from the world of the living.
6
Righteous people will see this and be afraid;
Then they will laugh at you and say,
7
“Look, here is a man who did not depend on God for safety,
but trusted instead in his great wealth
and looked for security in being wicked.”
8
But I am like an olive tree growing in the house of God;
I trust in his constant love forever and ever.
9
I will always thank you, God, for what you have done;
in the presence of your people
I will proclaim that you are good.
