Psalm 51
1
For the end, a Psalm of instruction by David,
2
when Doec the Idumean came and told Saul, and said to him, David is gone to the house of Abimelech.
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 for ever, 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 for ever, even for evermore.
11
I will give thanks to thee for ever, for thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name; for it is good before thy saints.
