1:
Unto the end, for the servant of God, David himself. The unjust hath said within himself, that he would sin : there is no fear of God before his eyes.
2:
For in his sight he hath done deceitfully, that his iniquity may be found unto hatred.
3:
The words of his mouth are iniquity and guile : he would not understand that he might do well.
4:
He hath devised iniquity on his bed, he hath set himself on every way that is not good : but evil he hath not hated.
5:
O Lord, thy mercy is in heaven, and thy truth reacheth, even to the clouds.
6:
Thy justice is as the mountains of God, thy judgments are a great deep. Men and beasts thou wilt preserve, O Lord :
7:
O how hast thou multiplied thy mercy, O God! But the children of men shall put their trust under the covert of thy wings.
8:
They shall be inebriated with the plenty of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the torrent of thy pleasure.
9:
For with thee is the fountain of life; and in thy light we shall see light.
10:
Extend thy mercy to them that know thee, and thy justice to them that are right in heart.
11:
Let not the foot of pride come to me, and let not the hand of the sinner move me.
12:
There the workers of iniquity are fallen, they are cast out, and could not stand.
