To the chief Musician[H5329], A Psalm of David[H1732] the servant[H5650] of the LORD[H3068]. The transgression[H6588] of the wicked[H7563]saith[H5002]within[H7130] my heart[H3820], that there is no fear[H6343] of God[H430] before his eyes[H5869].
2
For he flattereth[H2505] himself in his own eyes[H5869], until his iniquity[H5771] be found[H4672] to be hateful[H8130].
3
The words[H1697] of his mouth[H6310] are iniquity[H205] and deceit[H4820]: he hath left off[H2308] to be wise[H7919], and to do good[H3190].
4
He deviseth[H2803]mischief[H205] upon his bed[H4904]; he setteth[H3320] himself in a way[H1870] that is not good[H2896]; he abhorreth[H3988] not evil[H7451].
5
Thy mercy[H2617], O LORD[H3068], is in the heavens[H8064]; and thy faithfulness[H530] reacheth unto the clouds[H7834].
6
Thy righteousness[H6666] is like the great[H410]mountains[H2042]; thy judgments[H4941] are a great[H7227]deep[H8415]: O LORD[H3068], thou preservest[H3467]man[H120] and beast[H929].
7
How excellent[H3368] is thy lovingkindness[H2617], O God[H430]! therefore the children[H1121] of men[H120] put their trust[H2620] under the shadow[H6738] of thy wings[H3671].
8
They shall be abundantly satisfied[H7301] with the fatness[H1880] of thy house[H1004]; and thou shalt make them drink[H8248] of the river[H5158] of thy pleasures[H5730].
9
For with thee is the fountain[H4726] of life[H2416]: in thy light[H216] shall we see[H7200]light[H216].
10
O continue[H4900] thy lovingkindness[H2617] unto them that know[H3045] thee; and thy righteousness[H6666] to the upright[H3477] in heart[H3820].
11
Let not the foot[H7272] of pride[H1346]come[H935] against me, and let not the hand[H3027] of the wicked[H7563]remove[H5110] me.
12
There are the workers[H6466] of iniquity[H205]fallen[H5307]: they are cast down[H1760], and shall not be able[H3201] to rise[H6965].
