1.
For the director of music. Of David the servant of the LORD. An oracle is within my heart concerning the sinfulness of the wicked: There is no fear of God before his eyes.
|
|
2.
For in his own eyes he flatters himself too much to detect or hate his sin.
|
|
3.
The words of his mouth are wicked and deceitful; he has ceased to be wise and to do good.
|
|
4.
Even on his bed he plots evil; he commits himself to a sinful course and does not reject what is wrong.
|
|
5.
Your love, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies.
|
|
6.
Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your justice like the great deep. O LORD, you preserve both man and beast.
|
|
7.
How priceless is your unfailing love! Both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of your wings.
|
|
8.
They feast on the abundance of your house; 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.
Continue your love to those who know you, your righteousness to the upright in heart.
|
|
11.
May the foot of the proud not come against me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.
|
|
12.
See how the evildoers lie fallen--thrown down, not able to rise!
