| 1 ¶ To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD. The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.
|
|
| 2 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until1 his iniquity be found to be hateful.
|
|
| 3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good.
|
|
| 4 He deviseth mischief2 upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.
|
|
| 5 ¶ Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.
|
|
| 6 Thy righteousness is like the3 great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast.
|
|
| 7 How excellent4 is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.
|
|
| 8 They shall be abundantly5 satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.
|
|
| 9 For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.
|
|
| 10 O continue6 thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.
|
|
| 11 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.
|
|
| 12 There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.
