1 | Unto the end. To the servant of the Lord, David himself. |
2 | The unjust one has said within himself that he would commit offenses. There is no fear of God before his eyes. |
3 | For he has acted deceitfully in his sight, such that his iniquity will be found to be hatred. |
4 | The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit. He is unwilling to understand, so that he may act well. |
5 | He has been considering iniquity on his bed. He has set himself on every way that is not good; moreover, he has not hated evil. |
6 | Lord, your mercy is in heaven, and your truth is even to the clouds. |
7 | Your justice is like the mountains of God. Your judgments are a great abyss. Men and beasts, you will save, O Lord. |
8 | How you have multiplied your mercy, O God! And so the sons of men will hope under the cover of your wings. |
9 | They will be inebriated with the fruitfulness of your house, and you will give them to drink from the torrent of your enjoyment. |
10 | For with you is the fountain of life; and within your light, we will see the light. |
11 | Extend your mercy before those who know you, and your justice to these, who are upright in heart. |
12 | May arrogant feet not approach me, and may the hand of the sinner not disturb me. |
13 | In that place, those who work iniquity have fallen. They have been expelled; they were not able to stand. |
