Hebrew Old Testament (Masoretic Text)
1Why do you boast of mischief, mighty man? God’s loving kindness endures continually.
1לַמְנַצֵּ֗חַ מַשְׂכִּ֥יל לְדָוִֽד׃
2Your tongue plots destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
2בְּבֹ֤וא ׀ דֹּואֵ֣ג הָאֲדֹמִי֮ וַיַּגֵּ֪ד לְשָׁ֫א֥וּל וַיֹּ֥אמֶר לֹ֑ו בָּ֥א דָ֝וִ֗ד אֶל־בֵּ֥ית אֲחִימֶֽלֶךְ׃
3You love evil more than good, lying rather than speaking the truth. Selah.
3מַה־תִּתְהַלֵּ֣ל בְּ֭רָעָה הַגִּבֹּ֑ור חֶ֥סֶד אֵ֝֗ל כָּל־הַיֹּֽום׃
4You love all devouring words, you deceitful tongue.
4הַ֭וֹּות תַּחְשֹׁ֣ב לְשֹׁונֶ֑ךָ כְּתַ֥עַר מְ֝לֻטָּ֗שׁ עֹשֵׂ֥ה רְמִיָּֽה׃
5God will likewise destroy you forever. He will take you up, and pluck you out of your tent, and root you out of the land of the living. Selah.
5אָהַ֣בְתָּ רָּ֣ע מִטֹּ֑וב שֶׁ֓קֶר ׀ מִדַּבֵּ֖ר צֶ֣דֶק סֶֽלָה׃
6The righteous also will see it, and fear, and laugh at him, saying,
6אָהַ֥בְתָּ כָֽל־דִּבְרֵי־בָ֗לַע לְשֹׁ֣ון מִרְמָֽה׃
7“Behold, this is the man who didn’t make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.”
7גַּם־אֵל֮ יִתָּצְךָ֪ לָ֫נֶ֥צַח יַחְתְּךָ֣ וְיִסָּחֲךָ֣ מֵאֹ֑הֶל וְשֵֽׁרֶשְׁךָ֙ מֵאֶ֖רֶץ חַיִּ֣ים סֶֽלָה׃
8But as for me, I am like a green olive tree in God’s house. I trust in God’s loving kindness forever and ever.
8וְיִרְא֖וּ צַדִּיקִ֥ים וְיִירָ֗אוּ וְעָלָ֥יו יִשְׂחָֽקוּ׃
9I will give you thanks forever, because you have done it. I will hope in your name, for it is good, in the presence of your saints.
9הִנֵּ֤ה הַגֶּ֗בֶר לֹ֤א יָשִׂ֥ים אֱלֹהִ֗ים מָֽע֫וּזֹּ֥ו וַ֭יִּבְטַח בְּרֹ֣ב עָשְׁרֹ֑ו יָ֝עֹ֗ז בְּהַוָּתֹֽו׃
