For the music director. A psalm (maskil) of David, concerning the time when Doeg the Edomite went to Saul and told him, “David has gone to the home of Ahimelech.” You great man, why do you boast about the evil things you've done? God's trustworthy love lasts all day long.

2 Ang dila mo'y kumakatha ng totoong masama; gaya ng matalas na pangahit, na gumagawang may karayaan.

You plot to make people suffer; your words cut like a sharp razor, you liar!

3 Iniibig mo ang kasamaan ng higit kay sa kabutihan; at ang pagsisinungaling kay sa pagsasalita ng katuwiran. (Selah)

You love evil more than good, and telling lies more than speaking the truth. (Selah)

4 Iniibig mo ang lahat na mananakmal na salita, Oh ikaw na magdarayang dila.

You love slanderous words that destroy others, you liar!

5 Ilulugmok ka ring gayon ng Dios magpakailan man, itataas ka niya, at ilalabas ka sa iyong tolda, at bubunutin ka niya sa lupain ng may buhay. (Selah)

“See what happens to those who don't go to God for help but instead rely on their great wealth and strength—which only brings their destruction!”

8 Nguni't tungkol sa akin, ay gaya ako ng sariwang punong kahoy ng olibo sa bahay ng Dios: tumitiwala ako sa kagandahang-loob ng Dios magpakailan-kailan man.

But I'm like an olive tree growing strongly in God's house. I trust in God's unfailing love forever and ever.

9 Ako'y magpapasalamat sa iyo magpakailan man, sapagka't iyong ginawa: at ako'y maghihintay sa iyong pangalan sapagka't mabuti, sa harapan ng iyong mga banal.

I will praise you forever, God, for all you have done. In the presence of your trustworthy people, I will place my hope in the kind of person you are, for you are good.
