[1] I know the sinful utterance of the wicked: No fear of God confronts their own eyes, [2] because in their own eyes they are slick with talk about their guilt ever being found out and despised. [3] The words of their mouths are evil and dishonest. They have stopped being wise and stopped doing good. [4] They plot evil even while resting in bed! They commit themselves to a path that is no good. They don’t reject what is evil. [5] But your loyal love, LORD, extends to the skies; your faithfulness reaches the clouds. [6] Your righteousness is like the strongest mountains; your justice is like the deepest sea. LORD, you save both humans and animals. [7] Your faithful love is priceless, God! Humanity finds refuge in the shadow of your wings. [8] They feast on the bounty of your house; you let them drink from your river of pure joy. [9] Within you is the spring of life. In your light, we see light. [10] Extend your faithful love to those who know you; extend your righteousness to those whose heart is right. [11] Don’t let the feet of arrogant people walk all over me; don’t let the hands of the wicked drive me off. [12] Look—right there is where the evildoers have fallen, pushed down, unable to get up!
