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, until 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 mischief 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 the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast. |
7 |
How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings. |
8 |
They shall be abundantly 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 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 remove me. |
12 |
There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise. |
