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