For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD. An oracle is in my heart regarding the transgression of the wicked man: There is no fear of God before his eyes. |
|
2
|
For his eyes are too full of conceit to detect or hate his own sin. |
|
3
|
The words of his mouth are wicked and deceitful; he has ceased to be wise and well-doing. |
|
4
|
Even on his bed he plots wickedness; he sets himself on a path that is not good; he fails to reject evil. |
|
5
|
Your loving devotion, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, Your faithfulness to the clouds. |
|
6
|
Your righteousness is like the highest mountains; Your judgments are like the deepest sea. O LORD, You preserve man and beast. |
|
7
|
How precious is Your loving devotion, O God, that the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings! |
|
8
|
They feast on the abundance of Your house, and You give them drink from Your river of delights. |
|
9
|
For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light we see light. |
|
10
|
Extend Your loving devotion to those who know You, and Your righteousness to the upright in heart. |
|
11
|
Let not the foot of the proud come against me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away. |
|
12
|
There the evildoers lie fallen, thrown down and unable to rise. |
