| Wickedness of Men and Lovingkindness of God |
| For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David the servant of Jehovah. |
| [1] | THE 1 TRANSGRESSION of the wicked saith 2 within my heart, There is no fear of God before his eyes. |
| [2] | For he 3 flattereth himself in his own eyes, That 4 his iniquity will not be found out and be hated. |
| [3] | The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: He hath ceased to be wise and to do good. |
| [4] | He deviseth iniquity upon his bed; He setteth himself in a way that is not good; He abhorreth not evil. |
| [5] | Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, is in the heavens; Thy faithfulness reacheth unto the skies. |
| [6] | Thy righteousness is like the mountains of God; Thy judgments are a great deep: O Jehovah, thou preservest man and beast. |
| [7] | How precious is thy lovingkindness, O God! And the children of men take refuge under the shadow of thy wings. |
| [8] | They shall be abundantly 5 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] | Oh continue 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 drive me away. |
| [12] | There are the workers of iniquity fallen: They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise. |
