(For the one directing. A maskil of Dovid. When Do'eg HaAdomi [the Edomite] went to Sha'ul and said to him, Dovid has gone to Bais Achimelech)1Sa 22:9
Why boastest thou thyself in ra'ah, O gibbor?
The chesed El is kol hayom.Pro 21:12
The leshon (tongue) deviseth treachery;
like a sharp ta'ar (razor), working remiyyah (deceit).Psa 57:5; Pro 25:18
Thou lovest rah more than tov;
and sheker rather than to speak tzedek.
Selah
Thou lovest all devouring words,
O thou leshon mirmah (deceitful tongue).
El shall likewise demolish thee for netzach (eternity),
He shall break thee, and pluck thee out of thy ohel,
and uproot thee out of the Eretz Chayyim.
SelahJob 18:14; Job 20:7; Psa 50:22
The tzaddikim also shall see, and fear,
and shall laugh at him:
Hinei, this is the gever (man) that made not Elohim his ma'oz;
but trusted in the abundance of his osher (riches),
and strengthened himself in his treachery.Psa 49:7; Pro 11:28; Mrk 10:24
But I am like a green zayit (olive tree)
in the Beis Elohim;
I trust in the chesed Elohim olam va'ed.Psa 92:13; Jer 11:16; Hos 14:7
I will give Thee thanks l'olam, because Thou hast done it;
and I will wait on Shimecha;
for it is tov before Thy chasidim.Psa 37:5
