1 [To the chief Musician: an instruction. Of David; when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David came to the house of Ahimelech.] Why boastest thou thyself in evil, thou mighty man? The loving-kindness of *God {abideth} continually.
2 Thy tongue deviseth mischievous things, like a sharp razor, practising deceit.
3 Thou hast loved evil rather than good, lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.
4 Thou hast loved all devouring words, O deceitful tongue!
5 *God shall likewise destroy thee for ever; he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of {thy} tent, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah.
6 The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him, {saying,}
7 Behold the man that made not God his strength, but put confidence in the abundance of his riches, {and} strengthened himself in his avarice.
8 But as for me, I am like a green olive-tree in the house of God: I will confide in the loving-kindness of God for ever and ever.
9 I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done {it}; and I will wait on thy name, before thy godly ones, for it is good.
1 勇士啊！ 你为什么以作恶自夸呢？ 神的慈爱是常存的。
2 你图谋毁灭， 你的舌头锋利像剃刀， 常弄诡诈。
3 你喜爱作恶过于行善， 喜爱撒谎过于说实话。（细拉）
4 你喜爱你诡诈的舌头， 所说一切毁灭人的话。
5 神必把你永远拆毁； 他必把你挪去， 把你从帐棚中揪出来， 把你从活人之地连根拔起。（细拉）
6 义人必看见而惧怕； 他们必讥笑他， 说：
7 "看哪！ 这就是那不以 神为自己保障的人， 他只倚靠自己丰盛的财富， 以毁灭别人来加强自己的力量。"
8 至于我， 我就像 神殿中茂盛的橄榄树一样； 我倚靠 神的慈爱， 直到永永远远。
9 我要永远称谢你， 因为你行了这事； 我必在你圣民的面前， 宣扬（"宣扬"原文作"仰望"）你的名， 因你的名是美好的。
