1  To the chief music-maker. Maschil. Of David.\
2 When Doeg the Edomite came to Saul saying, David has come to the house of Ahimelech.
3 Why do you take pride in wrongdoing, lifting yourself up against the upright man all the day?
4 Purposing destruction, using deceit; your tongue is like a sharp blade.
5 You have more love for evil than for good, for deceit than for works of righteousness. (Selah.)
6 Destruction is in all your words, O false tongue.
7 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.)
