\d A psalm written by David for the choir director when Doeg went to Saul and said, "David has gone to talk with Ahimelech, the high priest."
|
|
\b
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 1 You proud man, you think that you are strong;
|
|
\q2 you boast about the trouble that you make for others,
|
|
\q1 but God faithfully protects people from you every day.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 All during the day you plan to get rid of others;
|
|
\q1 what you say is like a sharp blade,
|
|
\q2 and you are always deceiving others.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 3 You like doing what is evil more than you like doing what is good,
|
|
\q2 and you like telling lies more than you like telling the truth.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 4 You, the one who says things to deceive people,
|
|
\q2 you like to say things that hurt people!
|
|
\b
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 5 But God will get rid of you forever;
|
|
\q2 he will grab you and drag you from your home
|
|
\q2 and take you away from this world where people are alive.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 6 When righteous people see that, they will be awestruck,
|
|
\q2 and they will laugh at what happened to you, and say,
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 7 "Look what happened to the man who would not ask God to protect him;
|
|
\q2 he trusted that his great wealth would save him;
|
|
\q2 he grew more powerful by wickedly hurting other people."
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 8 But I am secure because I worship in God's temple;
|
|
\q2 I am like a strong green olive tree.
|
|
\q1 I trust in God, who faithfully loves us forever.
|
|
\b
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 9 God, I will always thank you for everything you have done.
|
|
\q2 I will wait patiently because you are so good,
|
|
\q2 especially when I stand before your faithful people.
