The Steadfast Love of God Endures

To the choirmaster. A Maskil
Probably a musical or liturgical term
of David, when gDoeg, 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.
2Your htongue plots destruction,
like ia sharp razor, you jworker of deceit.

Jeremiah 40:4-6

4Now, behold, I release you today from kthe chains on your hands. lIf it seems good to you to come with me to Babylon, come, and I will look after you well, mbut if it seems wrong to you to come with me to Babylon, do not come. nSee, the whole land is before you; go wherever you think it good and right to go. 5If you remain,
Syriac; the meaning of the Hebrew phrase is uncertain
then return to pGedaliah the son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, qwhom the king of Babylon appointed governor of the cities of Judah, and dwell with him among the people. Or go wherever you think it right to go.” So the captain of the guard gave him an allowance of food and a present, and let him go.
6Then Jeremiah went to rGedaliah the son of Ahikam, at sMizpah, and lived with him tamong the people uwho were left in the land.
