1To the Chanter, of David the servant of the LORD My heart sheweth me the wickedness of the ungodly, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.
2For he dissembleth before his face, so long till his abominable sin be found out.
3The words of his mouth are unrighteousness and deceit, he will not be learned to do good.
4He imagineth mischief upon his bed, he will come in no good way, nor refuse the thing that is evil.
5Thy mercy, O LORD, reacheth unto the heaven, and thy faithfulness unto the clouds.
6Thy righteousness standeth like the strong mountains, and thy judgment like the great deep. Thou LORD preservest both men and beasts.
7How precious is thy mercy, O God, that the children of men may put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.
8They shall be satisfied with the plenteousness of thy house, and thou shalt give them drink of the river of thy pleasures.
9For by thee is the well of life, and in thy light, shall we see light.
10O spread forth thy loving-kindness unto them that know thee, and thy righteousness unto them that are true of heart.
11O let not the foot of pride overtake me, O let not the hand of the ungodly cast me down.
12As for wicked doers, they fall, they are cast down, and are not able to stand.(stode)
