The transgression of the wicked

1
For the chief musician. A psalm of David the servant of Yahweh. Sin speaks like an oracle in the heart of the wicked man; there is no fear of God in his eyes.
2
For he comforts himself, thinking that his sin will not be discovered and be hated.
3
His words are sinful and deceitful; he does not want to be wise and do good.
4
While he lies in bed, he plans ways to sin; he sets out on an evil way; he does not reject evil.
5
Your covenant faithfulness, Yahweh, reaches to the heavens; your loyalty reaches to the clouds.
6
Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your judgments are like the great deep. Yahweh, you preserve both mankind and the animals.
7
How precious is your covenant faithfulness, God! Humanity takes refuge under the shadow of your wings.
8
They will be abundantly satisfied with the richness of the food of your house; you will let them drink from the river of your precious blessings.
9
For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we will see light.
10
Extend your covenant faithfulness fully to those who know you, your defense to the upright of heart.
11
Do not let the foot of the arrogant man come near to me. Do not let the hand of the wicked drive me away.
12
Over there the evildoers have fallen; they are knocked down and are not able to get up.

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.
