[1] To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD. [2]
Transgression speaks to the wicked deep in his heart; there is no fear of
God before his eyes. [3] For he flatters himself in his own eyes that his
iniquity cannot be found out and hated. [4] The words of his mouth are
mischief and deceit; he has ceased to act wisely and do good. [5] He plots
mischief while on his bed; he sets himself in a way that is not good; he
spurns not evil. [6] Thy steadfast love, O LORD, extends to the heavens,
thy faithfulness to the clouds. [7] Thy righteousness is like the mountains
of God, thy judgments are like the great deep; man and beast thou savest, O
LORD. [8] How precious is thy steadfast love, O God! The children of men
take refuge in the shadow of thy wings. [9] They feast on the abundance of
thy house, and thou givest them drink from the river of thy delights. [10]
For with thee is the fountain of life; in thy light do we see light. [11] O
continue thy steadfast love to those who know thee, and thy salvation to
the upright of heart! [12] Let not the foot of arrogance come upon me, nor
the hand of the wicked drive me away. [ (Psalms 36:13) There the evildoers
lie prostrate, they are thrust down, unable to rise. ]
