1The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, There is no fear of God before his eyes. 2For he flattereth himself in his own eyes , That his iniquity will not be found out and be hated. 3The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: He hath ceased to be wise and to do good . 4He deviseth iniquity upon his bed; He setteth himself in a way that is not good ; He abhorreth not evil.
The Greatness of God's Love
5Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah , is in the heavens; Thy faithfulness reacheth unto the skies . 6Thy righteousness is like the mountains of God ; Thy judgments are a great deep: O Jehovah , thou preservest man and beast. 7How precious is thy lovingkindness, O God ! And the children of men take refuge under the shadow of thy wings. 8They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; And thou wilt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures. 9For with thee is the fountain of life: In thy light shall we see light.
A Call to Trust in God
10Oh continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee , And thy righteousness to the upright in heart. 11Let not the foot of pride come against me , And let not the hand of the wicked drive me away . 12There are the workers of iniquity fallen: They are thrust down , and shall not be able to rise.
