For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD.

The Transgression of the Wicked

1An inner sanctuary is within my heart about the disobedience of the wicked: “There is no fear of God before his eyes.”+ 2For he flatters himself in his own eyes, too much to detect and hate his sin.+ 3The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit. He has ceased to be wise and to do good.+ 4He plots iniquity on his bed. He sets himself in a way that is not good. He doesn’t abhor evil.+ 5Your loving kindness, Yahweh, is in the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.+ 6Your righteousness is like the mountains of God. Your judgments are like a great deep. Yahweh, you preserve man and animal.+ 7How precious is your loving kindness, God! The children of men take refuge under the shadow of your wings.+ 8They shall be abundantly satisfied with the abundance of your house. You will make them drink of the river of your pleasures.+ 9For with you is the spring of life. In your light shall we see light.+ 10Oh continue your loving kindness to those who know you, your righteousness to the upright in heart.+ 11Don’t let the foot of pride come against me. Don’t let the hand of the wicked drive me away.+ 12There the workers of iniquity are fallen. They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise.+
