For the director of music. A maskil⚓ of David. When Doeg the Edomite had gone to Saul and told him: “David has gone to the house of Ahimelek.”
1Why do you boast of evil, you mighty hero? Why do you boast all day long, you who are a disgrace in the eyes of God? 2You who practice deceit, your tongue plots destruction; it is like a sharpened razor. 3You love evil rather than good, falsehood rather than speaking the truth.⚓ 4You love every harmful word, you deceitful tongue!
5Surely God will bring you down to everlasting ruin: He will snatch you up and pluck you from your tent; he will uproot you from the land of the living. 6The righteous will see and fear; they will laugh at you, saying, 7“Here now is the man who did not make God his stronghold but trusted in his great wealth and grew strong by destroying others!”
8But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in God’s unfailing love for ever and ever. 9For what you have done I will always praise you in the presence of your faithful people. And I will hope in your name, for your name is good.

Vajtswv Txojkev Txiav Txim thiab Kev Hlub
1Tus neeg muaj hwjchim, vim li cas koj khav ntxhias rau koj txojkev ua phem ua qias? Vajtswv txojkev ncaj ncees yog txoj uas nyob mus ibtxhis. 2Koj npaj tswvyim ua kom lwm tus raug kev puastsuaj, koj tus nplaig ntse ib yam li hniav chais, koj yeej ibtxwm hais lus dag xwb. 3Koj nyiam kev phem tshaj kev zoo thiab nyiam kev dag tshaj kev ncaj ncees. 4Koj yog neeg dag, koj thiaj nyiam hais tej lus uas chob luag siab xwb.
5Yog li ntawd, Vajtswv yuav ua kom koj raug kev puastsuaj mus ibtxhis, nws yuav tuav koj cia thiab muab koj ntiab tawm hauv koj lub tsev mus; nws yuav muab koj tshem tawm hauv lub ntiajteb uas cov neeg muaj sia nyob no mus. 6Cov neeg ncaj ncees yuav pom zaj no thiab lawv ntshai kawg li, ces lawv yuav luag koj plig thiab hais tias, 7“Nej saib, tus neeg uas tsis cia Vajtswv ua tus pab nws, tiamsis nws pheej cia siab rau nws tej nyiaj txiag, thiab pheej rau siab ntso nrhiav kev ua phem nkaus xwb.”
8Tiamsis kuv zoo ib yam li tsob txiv ntoo roj uas hlob mos nyoos hauv Vajtswv lub tsev, kuv cia siab hlo rau nws txojkev hlub uas tsis paub kawg mus ibtxhis. 9Vajtswv, kuv yuav ua koj tsaug tsis paub kawg, rau tej uas koj twb ua pub rau kuv tas los lawm, kuv yuav qhia koj txojkev ua zoo tabmeeg koj haivneeg.
