[1] Wrongdoing speaks to the ungodly within his heart; There is no fear of God before his eyes. [2] For it flatters him in his own eyes Concerning the discovery of his wrongful deed and the hatred of it. [3] The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit; He has ceased to be wise and to do good. [4] He plans wickedness on his bed; He sets himself on a path that is not good; He does not reject evil. [5] Your mercy, Lord, extends to the heavens, Your faithfulness reaches to the skies. [6] Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; Your judgments are like the great deep. Lord, You protect mankind and animals. [7] How precious is Your mercy, God! And the sons of mankind take refuge in the shadow of Your wings. [8] They drink their fill of the abundance of Your house; And You allow them to drink from the river of Your delights. [9] For the fountain of life is with You; In Your light we see light. [10] Prolong Your mercy to those who know You, And Your righteousness to the upright of heart. [11] May the foot of pride not come upon me, And may the hand of the wicked not drive me away. [12] Those who do injustice have fallen there; They have been thrust down and cannot rise.
