| 1 | To the Overseer. -- By a servant of Jehovah, by David. The transgression of the wicked Is affirming within my heart, `Fear of God is not before his eyes, |
| 2 | For he made [it] smooth to himself in his eyes, To find his iniquity to be hated. |
| 3 | The words of his mouth [are] iniquity and deceit, He ceased to act prudently -- to do good. |
| 4 | Iniquity he deviseth on his bed, He stationeth himself on a way not good, Evil he doth not refuse.` |
| 5 | O Jehovah, in the heavens [is] Thy kindness, Thy faithfulness [is] unto the clouds. |
| 6 | Thy righteousness [is] as mountains of God, Thy judgments [are] a great deep. Man and beast Thou savest, O Jehovah. |
| 7 | How precious [is] Thy kindness, O God, And the sons of men In the shadow of Thy wings do trust. |
| 8 | They are filled from the fatness of Thy house, And the stream of Thy delights Thou dost cause them to drink. |
| 9 | For with Thee [is] a fountain of life, In Thy light we see light. |
| 10 | Draw out Thy kindness to those knowing Thee, And Thy righteousness to the upright of heart. |
| 11 | Let not a foot of pride meet me, And a hand of the wicked let not move me. |
| 12 | There have workers of iniquity fallen, They have been overthrown, And have not been able to arise! |
