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! -
