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