(For the music director. Of David, the servant of Yahweh. ) An oracle: the wicked has rebellion in the midst of his heart. There is no fear of God before his eyes.
2
For he flatters himself in his eyes, hating to detect his iniquity.
3
The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit. He has ceased to have insight and to do good.
4
He plans sin on his bed. He puts himself on a way that is not good. He does not reject evil.
5
O Yahweh, your loyal love extends into the heavens, your faithfulness unto the clouds.
6
Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your judgments like the great deep. You save man and beast, O Yahweh.
7
How precious is your loyal love, O God, and the children of humankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
8
They are refreshed with the fullness of your house, and you give them drink from the river of your delights.
9
For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.
10
Prolong your loyal love to those who know you, and your righteousness to the upright of heart.
11
Do not let a foot of pride come against me, nor let a wicked hand make me to wander homeless.
12
There doers of evil have fallen; they are thrust down and not able to rise.
