- 1An oracle is within my heart about the disobedience of the wicked: “There is no fear of God before his eyes.”
- 2For he flatters himself in his own eyes, too much to detect and hate his sin.
- 3The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit. He has ceased to be wise and to do good.
- 4He plots iniquity on his bed. He sets himself in a way that is not good. He doesn’t abhor evil.
- 5Your loving kindness, the Lord, is in the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
- 6Your righteousness is like the mountains of God. Your judgments are like a great deep. The Lord, you preserve man and animal.
- 7How precious is your loving kindness, God! The children of men take refuge under the shadow of your wings.
- 8They shall be abundantly satisfied with the abundance of your house. You will make them drink of the river of your pleasures.
- 9For with you is the spring of life. In your light shall we see light.
- 10Oh continue your loving kindness to those who know you, your righteousness to the upright in heart.
- 11Don’t let the foot of pride come against me. Don’t let the hand of the wicked drive me away.
- 12There the workers of iniquity are fallen. They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise.
