Why Do You Boast of Evil?

1 Samuel 22:6–23

1To the Overseer. --An instruction, by David, in the coming in of Doeg the Edomite, and he declareth to Saul, and saith to him, `David came in unto the house of Ahimelech.' What, boasteth thou in evil, O mighty one? The kindness of God is all the day.+ 2Mischiefs doth thy tongue devise, Like a sharp razor, working deceit.+ 3Thou hast loved evil rather than good, Lying, than speaking righteousness. Selah.+ 4Thou hast loved all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.+ 5Also--God doth break thee down for ever, Taketh thee, and pulleth thee out of the tent, And He hath uprooted thee Out of the land of the living. Selah.+ 6And the righteous see, And fear, and laugh at him.+ 7`Lo, the man who maketh not God his strong place, And trusteth in the abundance of his riches, He is strong in his mischiefs.'+ 8And I, as a green olive in the house of God, I have trusted in the kindness of God, To the age and for ever,+ 9I thank Thee to the age, because Thou hast done it, And I wait on Thy name for it is good before Thy saints!+
