The transgression of the wicked

1
To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid, the servant of the Lord. Wickedness sayeth to the wicked man, euen in mine heart, that there is no feare of God before his eyes.
2
For hee flattereth himselfe in his owne eyes, while his iniquitie is foud worthy to be hated.
3
The wordes of his mouth are iniquitie and deceit: hee hath left off to vnderstand and to doe good.
4
Hee imagineth mischiefe vpon his bed: he setteth himselfe vpon a way, that is not good, and doeth not abhorre euill.
5
Thy mercy, O Lord, reacheth vnto the heauens, and thy faithfulnesse vnto the cloudes.
6
Thy righteousnesse is like the mightie moutaines: thy iudgements are like a great deepe: thou, Lord, doest saue man and beast.
7
How excellent is thy mercy, O God! therefore the children of men trust vnder the shadowe of thy wings.
8
They shall be satisfied with the fatnesse of thine house, and thou shalt giue them drinke out of the riuer of thy pleasures.
9
For with thee is the well of life, and in thy light shall we see light.
10
Extend thy louing kindnes vnto them that knowe thee, and thy righteousnesse vnto them that are vpright in heart.
11
Let not ye foote of pride come against me, and let not the hand of ye wicked men moue me.
12
There they are fallen that worke iniquity: they are cast downe, and shall not be able to rise.

The transgression of the wicked

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