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.”

The steadfast love of God endures all the day.

the land never satisfied with water,
and the fire that never says, “Enough.”

Ecclesiastes 4:8

8 one person who has no other, either son or brother, yet there is no end to all his toil, and his ^leyes are never satisfied with riches, so that he never asks, ^m“For whom am I toiling and depriving myself of pleasure?” This also is vanity and an unhappy ⁿbusiness.

5 “Moreover, wine ^{▼▼Masoretic Text; Dead Sea Scroll wealth} is ^ra traitor,
an arrogant man who is never at rest. ^{▼▼The meaning of the Hebrew of these two lines is uncertain}
His greed is as wide as Sheol;
like death ^the has never enough.
^uHe gathers for himself all nations
and collects as his own all peoples.”

Woe to the Chaldeans

6 Shall not all these ^vtake up their taunt against him, with scoffing and riddles for him, and say,

^w“Woe to him ^xwho heaps up what is not his own—

and ^zloads himself with pledges!”
7 ^aaWill not your debtors suddenly arise,
and those awake who will make you tremble?
Then you will be spoil for them.
