Psalm 51 📜 📕 ↷

1 UNTO the end, understanding to David,📜💬📚

2 When Doeg the Idumeite came and told Saul: David is come into the house of Achimelech.📜💬📚

3 Why doest thou glory in malice, which are mighty in iniquity?📜💬📚

4 All the day hath thy tongue thought injustice: as a sharp rasor thou hast done guile.📜💬📚

5 Thou hast loved malice more than benignity: iniquity rather than to speak equity.📜💬📚

6 Thou hast loved all words of precipitation, a deceitful tongue.📜💬📚

7 Therefore will God destroy thee for ever, he will pluck thee out, & remove thee out of thy tabernacle: & thy root out of the land of the living.📜💬📚

8 The just shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him, and they shall say:📜💬📚

9 Behold the man, that hath not put God for his helper. But hath hoped in the multitude of his riches, and hath prevailed in his vanity.📜💬📚

10 But I as a fruitful olive tree in the house of God, have hoped in the mercy of God for ever: and for ever and ever.📜💬📚

11 I will confess to thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will expect thy name, because it is good in the sight of thy Saints.📜💬📚
