1For the Conductor, by the servant of the Lord, by David.
2[I think] in my heart: Sin says to the wicked, "There is none [who need place] the fear of God before his eyes.”
3For Sin makes itself appealing to him, until his iniquity be found and he is hated.
4The speech of his mouth is evil and deceit; he fails to reason, to improve.
5On his bed he contemplates evil, he stands in a path that is not good; he does not despise evil.
6O Lord, Your kindness is in the heavens; Your faithfulness is till the skies.
7Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, Your judgements extend to the great deep; man and beast You deliver, O Lord.
8How precious is Your kindness, O God; man takes shelter in the shadow of Your wings.
9They will be filled by the abundance of Your house; from the stream of Your Eden, You will give them to drink.
10For the source of life is with You; in Your Light do we see light.
11Extend Your kindness to those who know You, and Your righteousness to the upright of heart.
12Let not the foot of the arrogant overtake me; let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.
13There1 the doers of evil fell, thrust down, unable to rise.
