1The sin of the wicked speaks within my heart: there is no fear of God before his eyes.
2For he flatters himself in his own eyes, until his sin is found to be hateful.
3The words of his mouth are sin and deceit. He has stopped being wise and doing good.
4He plans trouble on his bed. He sets himself on a way that is not good. He does not hate evil.
5Your mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens, and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
6Your righteousness is like the great mountains. Your judgments are a great deep. O LORD, you keep safe both man and beast.
7How excellent is your lovingkindness, O God! So the children of men put their trust under the shadow of your wings.
8They will be fully satisfied with the rich food of your house, and you will give them drink from the river of your delights.
9For with you is the fountain of life. In your light we will see light.
10Continue your lovingkindness to those who know you, and your righteousness to those who are upright in heart.
11Do not let the foot of pride come against me. Do not let the hand of the wicked drive me away.
12There the workers of sin have fallen. They are thrown down, and will not be able to rise.
