God Will Punish the Proud

For the director of music. A ·maskil [skillful psalm; meditation] of David. When Doeg the Edomite came to Saul and ·said [reported] to him, “David ·is in [^Lhas come to/entered] Ahimelech’s house [1 Sam. 21:7; 22:7–23].”

52 Mighty warrior, why do you ·brag [boast] about the evil you do?
    God’s ·love [loyalty] will continue ·forever [^Leveryday; all day].
²You think up ·evil plans [^Ldestruction].
    Your tongue is like a sharp razor [Prov. 18:21],
    making up ·lies [deception].
³You love ·wrong [evil] more than ·right [good]
    and ·lies [falsehood] more than speaking the truth. ·Selah [Interlude]
