[1] Transgression speaks to the wicked deep in his heart; there is no fear of God before his eyes. [2] For he flatters himself in his own eyes that his iniquity cannot be found out and hated. [3] The words of his mouth are mischief and deceit; he has ceased to act wisely and do good. [4] He plots mischief while on his bed; he sets himself in a way that is not good; he spurns not evil. [5] Thy steadfast love, O LORD, extends to the heavens, thy faithfulness to the clouds. [6] Thy righteousness is like the mountains of God, thy judgments are like the great deep; man and beast thou savest, O LORD. [7] How precious is thy steadfast love, O God! The children of men take refuge in the shadow of thy wings. [8] They feast on the abundance of thy house, and thou givest them drink from the river of thy delights. [9] For with thee is the fountain of life; in thy light do we see light. [10] O continue thy steadfast love to those who know thee, and thy salvation to the upright of heart! [11] Let not the foot of arrogance come upon me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away. [12] There the evildoers lie prostrate, they are thrust down, unable to rise.
