(title

For men who are going after me have come out against me, violent men are purposing to take my soul; they have not put God before their eyes. (Selah.)

Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, kept back before the Lord; his name was Doeg, an Edomite, the strongest of Saul's runners.

Then Doeg, the Edomite, who was by the side of the servants of Saul, in answer said, I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub.

Told

See, hate is dropping from their lips; curses are on their tongues: they say, Who gives attention to it?

His tongue is an arrow causing death; the words of his mouth are deceit: he says words of peace to his neighbour, but in his heart he is waiting secretly for him.

In any question about an ox or an ass or a sheep or clothing, or about the loss of any property which anyone says is his, let the two sides put their cause before God; and he who is judged to be in the wrong is to make payment to his neighbour of twice the value.

Boastest

The evil-doer in his pride is cruel to the poor; let him be taken by the tricks of his invention.

Words of pride come from their lips; all the workers of evil say great things of themselves.

Hated by God, full of pride, without respect, full of loud talk, given to evil inventions, not honouring father or mother,

For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, uplifted in pride, given to bitter words, going against the authority of their fathers, never giving praise, having no religion,

O mighty

There were men of great strength and size on the earth in those days; and after that, when the sons of God had connection with the daughters of men, they gave birth to children: these were the great men of old days, the men of great name.

And Cush was the father of Nimrod, who was the first of the great men of the earth.

Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, kept back before the Lord; his name was Doeg, an Edomite, the strongest of Saul's runners.

Goodness

But the mercy of the Lord is eternal for his worshippers, and their children's children will see his righteousness;

O give praise to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.

By the rivers of Babylon we were seated, weeping at the memory of Zion,

My loved ones, let us have love for one another: because love is of God, and everyone who has love is a child of God and has knowledge of God.
