| | 1 | For the director of music. Of David the servant of the LORD. An oracle is within my heart concerning the sinfulness of the wicked: There is no fear of God before his eyes. | |
| | 2 | For in his own eyes he flatters himself too much to detect or hate his sin. | |
| | 3 | The words of his mouth are wicked and deceitful; he has ceased to be wise and to do good. | |
| | 4 | Even on his bed he plots evil; he commits himself to a sinful course and does not reject what is wrong. | |
| | 5 | Your love, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies. | |
| | 6 | Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your justice like the great deep. O LORD, you preserve both man and beast. | |
| | 7 | How priceless is your unfailing love! Both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of your wings. | |
| | 8 | They feast on the abundance of your house; you give them drink from your river of delights. | |
| | 9 | For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light. | |
| | 10 | Continue your love to those who know you, your righteousness to the upright in heart. | |
| | 11 | May the foot of the proud not come against me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away. | |
| | 12 | See how the evildoers lie fallen--thrown down, not able to rise! | |
