1 A David psalm, when Doeg the Edomite reported to Saul,"David's at Ahimelech's house."

Why do you brag of evil, "Big Man"?

God's mercy carries the day.

2 You scheme catastrophe;

your tongue cuts razor-sharp,

artisan in lies.

3 You love evil more than good,

you call black white.

4 You love malicious gossip,

you foul-mouth.

5 God will tear you limb from limb,

sweep you up and throw you out,

Pull you up by the roots

from the land of life.

6 Good people will watch and

worship. They'll laugh in relief:

7 "Big Man bet on the wrong horse,

trusted in big money,

made his living from catastrophe."

8 And I'm an olive tree,

growing green in God's house.

I trusted in the generous mercy

of God then and now.

9 I thank you always

that you went into action.

And I'll stay right here,

your good name my hope,

in company with your faithful friends.
