  1. Psalms 52:1–9Rank 1 from verse 9
    Open

    1WHY boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth continually.

    2Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp rasor, working deceitfully.

    3Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.

    4Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.

    5God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of thy dwelling place, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah.

    6The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:

    7Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.

    8But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.

    9I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name; for it is good before thy saints.

    1THEN came David to Nob to Ahimelech the priest: and Ahimelech was afraid at the meeting of David, and said unto him, Why art thou alone, and no man with thee?

    2And David said unto Ahimelech the priest, The king hath commanded me a business, and hath said unto me, Let no man know any thing of the business whereabout I send thee, and what I have commanded thee: and I have appointed my servants to such and such a place.

    3Now therefore what is under thine hand? give me five loaves of bread in mine hand, or what there is present.

    4And the priest answered David, and said, There is no common bread under mine hand, but there is hallowed bread; if the young men have kept themselves at least from women.

    5And David answered the priest, and said unto him, Of a truth women have been kept from us about these three days, since I came out, and the vessels of the young men are holy, and the bread is in a manner common, yea, though it were sanctified this day in the vessel.

    6So the priest gave him hallowed bread: for there was no bread there but the shewbread, that was taken from before the Lord, to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away.

    7Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the Lord; and his name was Doeg, an Edomite, the chiefest of the herdmen that belonged to Saul.

    8¶ And David said unto Ahimelech, And is there not here under thine hand spear or sword? for I have neither brought my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king’s business required haste.

    9And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou slewest in the valley of Elah, behold, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod: if thou wilt take that, take it: for there is no other save that here. And David said, There is none like that; give it me.

    10¶ And David arose, and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.

    11And the servants of Achish said unto him, Is not this David the king of the land? did they not sing one to another of him in dances, saying, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?

    12And David laid up these words in his heart, and was sore afraid of Achish the king of Gath.

    13And he changed his behaviour before them, and feigned himself mad in their hands, and scrabbled on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down upon his beard.

    14Then said Achish unto his servants, Lo, ye see the man is mad: wherefore then have ye brought him to me?

    15Have I need of mad men, that ye have brought this fellow to play the mad man in my presence? shall this fellow come into my house?

    9In thee are men that carry tales to shed blood: and in thee they eat upon the mountains: in the midst of thee they commit lewdness.

    59Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;

    60But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,

    61And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.
