[1] Sin speaks to the wicked in their hearts. They have no fear of God. [2] They think too much of themselves so they don't see their sin and hate it. [3] Their words are wicked lies; they are no longer wise or good. [4] At night they make evil plans; what they do leads to nothing good. They don't refuse things that are evil. [5] LORD, your love reaches to the heavens, your loyalty to the skies. [6] Your goodness is as high as the mountains. Your justice is as deep as the great ocean. LORD, you protect both people and animals. [7] God, your love is so precious! You protect people in the shadow of your wings. [8] They eat the rich food in your house, and you let them drink from your river of pleasure. [9] You are the giver of life. Your light lets us enjoy life. [10] Continue to love those who know you and to do good to those who are good. [11] Don't let proud people attack me and the wicked force me away. [12] Those who do evil have been defeated. They are overwhelmed; they cannot do evil any longer.
