1 The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that
there is no fear of God before his eyes.
2 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity
be found to be hateful.
3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left
off to be wise, and to do good.
4 He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way
that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.
5 Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness
reacheth unto the clouds.
6 Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments
are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast.
7 How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the
children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.
8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy
house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy
pleasures.
9 For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we
see light.
10 O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and
thy righteousness to the upright in heart.
11 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the
hand of the wicked remove me.
12 There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down,
and shall not be able to rise.
