[1] Sinners don't respect God; sin is all they think about. [2] They like themselves too much to hate their own sins or even to see them. [3] They tell deceitful lies, and they don't have the sense to live right. [4] Those people stay awake, thinking up mischief, and they follow the wrong road, refusing to turn from sin. [5] Your love is faithful, LORD, and even the clouds in the sky can depend on you. [6] Your decisions are always fair. They are firm like mountains, deep like the sea, and all people and animals are under your care. [7] Your love is a treasure, and everyone finds shelter in the shadow of your wings. [8] You give your guests a feast in your house, and you serve a tasty drink that flows like a river. [9] The life-giving fountain belongs to you, and your light gives light to each of us. [10] Our LORD, keep showing love to everyone who knows you, and use your power to save all whose thoughts please you. [11] Don't let those proud and merciless people kick me around or chase me away. [12] Look at those wicked people! They are knocked down, never to get up again.
