1: 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. |
