τῷ ἐλθεῖν Δωηκ τὸν Ιδουμαῖον καὶ ἀναγγεῖλαι τῷ Σαουλ καὶ εἰπεῖν αὐτῷ ἦλθεν Δαυιδ εἰς τὸν οἶκον Αβιμελεχ
When Doeg the Edomite came and reported to Saul and said to him, David has come into the house of Abimelech
Why do you boast in evil, O mighty man? Lawlessness all the day long.
Your tongue devised injustice, like a sharpened razor you made deceit
You have loved evil more than goodness, injustice more than speaking righteousness. Selah
You have loved all words of destruction, a deceitful tongue.
τοῦτο ὁ θεὸς καθελεῖ σε εἰς τέλος ἐκτίλαι σε καὶ μεταναστεύσαι σε ἀπὸ σκηνώματος καὶ τὸ ῥίζωμά σου ἐκ γῆς ζώντων διάψαλμα
Therefore God will destroy you utterly; he will tear you out and transplant you from your tent, and your root from the land of the living. Selah
And the righteous will see and will fear, and at him they will laugh and they will say
ἄνθρωπος ὃς οὐκ ἔθετο τὸν θεὸν βοηθὸν αὐτοῦ ἀλλ᾿ ἐπήλπισεν ἐπὶ τὸ πλῆθος τοῦ πλούτου αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐδυναμώθη ἐπὶ τῇ ματαιότητι αὐτοῦ
Behold, the man who did not make God his helper, but trusted in the abundance of his wealth and was strengthened in his futility.
δὲ ὡσεὶ ἐλαία κατάκαρπος ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ θεοῦ ἤλπισα ἐπὶ τὸ ἔλεος τοῦ θεοῦ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα καὶ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος
But I am like a fruitful olive tree in the house of God; I have hoped in the mercy of God for ever and unto the age of the age.
I will give thanks to you forever, because you did it, and I will wait for your name, because it is good before your holy ones
