Berean Standard Bible
“Why do you boast of evil, O mighty man? The loving devotion of God endures all day long.”
The heading ties this psalm to the day Doeg the Edomite reported to Saul that David had been helped by the priest Ahimelech at Nob, a betrayal that ended in the slaughter of the town's priests. David writes as a fugitive who has watched a powerful man use his tongue as a weapon.
