Unto the end. The understanding of David.
When Doeg the Edomite came and reported to Saul, David went to the house of Ahimelech.
Why do you glory in malice, you who are powerful in iniquity?
All day long your tongue thinks up injustice. Like a sharp razor, you have wrought deceit.
You have loved malice above goodness, and iniquity more than speaking righteousness.
You have loved all precipitous words, you deceitful tongue.
