¹ The transgression of the wicked says within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes. ² For he flatters himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful. ³ The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he has left off to be wise, and to do good. ⁴ He devises mischief on his bed he sets himself in a way that is not good he detests not evil. ⁵ your mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds. ⁶ your righteousness is like the great mountains; your judgments are a great deep: O LORD, you preservest man and beast. ⁷ How excellent is your lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of your wings. ⁸ They will be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of your house and you will make them drink of the river of your pleasures. ⁹ For with you is the fountain of life: in your light will we see light. ¹⁰ O continue your lovingkindness to them that know you and your 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 will not be able to rise
