{To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of the servant of Jehovah; of David.} The transgression of the wicked uttereth within my heart, There is no fear of God before his eyes. |
2
|
For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, [even] when his iniquity is found to be hateful. |
3
|
The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, to do good. |
4
|
He deviseth wickedness up on his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good: he abhorreth not evil. |
5
|
Jehovah, thy loving-kindness is in the heavens, and thy faithfulness [reacheth] unto the clouds. |
6
|
Thy righteousness is like the high mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: thou, Jehovah, preservest man and beast. |
7
|
How precious is thy loving-kindness, O God! So the sons of men take refuge under the shadow of thy wings. |
8
|
They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou wilt 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
|
Continue thy loving-kindness 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 drive me away. |
12
|
There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and are not able to rise. |
