To the choirmaster. A Maskil of David, when Doeg, the Edomite, came and told Saul, “David has come to the house of Ahimelech.” Why do you boast of evil, O mighty man? The steadfast love of God endures all the day. Your tongue plots destruction, like a sharp razor, you worker of deceit. You love evil more than good, and lying more than speaking what is right. Selah You love all words that devour, O deceitful tongue.
How much of this evil and deceitfulness and lying is still evident in my life? Rip it out of me, Lord. Send Your Holy Spirit to convict me and transform me. It is through Your wounds that I am healed.
