The Steadfast Love of God Endures

To the choirmaster. A Maskil ^{▼▼Probably a musical or liturgical term} of David, when ^bDoeg, the Edomite, came and told Saul, “David has come to the house of Ahimelech.”

1 Why do you boast of evil, O mighty man?
The steadfast love of God endures all the day.
2 Your ^ctongue plots destruction,
like ^da sharp razor, you ^eworker of deceit.
3 You love evil more than good,
and ^flying more than speaking what is right. Selah
4 You love all words that devour,
O deceitful tongue.
5 But God will break you down forever;
he will snatch and ^gtear you from your tent;
he will uproot you from ^hthe land of the living. Selah

Proverbs 19:5

5 ⁱA false witness will not go unpunished,
and he who ^jbreathes out lies will not escape.

Proverbs 29:12

12 If a ruler listens to falsehood,
all his officials will be wicked.

Ezekiel 22:9

9 ^kThere are men in you who slander to shed blood, and people in you ^lwho eat on the mountains; ^mthey commit lewdness in your midst.

Matthew 26:59-61

59 Now the chief priests and the whole council ^{▼▼Greek Sanhedrin} ^owere seeking false testimony against Jesus that they might put him to death, 60 but they found none, ^pthough many false witnesses came forward. At last ^qtwo came forward 61 and said, “This man said, ^r‘I am able to ^sdestroy the temple of God, and to rebuild it in three days.’”
