12 verses · word-for-word from the Hebrew and Greek · free to read

1To the chief musician; of the servant of Jehovah; of David. A statement of the wicked one: The transgression of the wicked one within my heart: There is no fear of God before his eyes.
2For he flatters himself in his own eyes, only to find his depravity to be hated.
3The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit; he ceases to act wisely, to do good.
4He plots iniquity on his bed; he sets himself on a way that is not good; he does not despise evil.
5Your mercy, O Jehovah, is in the heavens, Your faithfulness to the dust clouds.
6Your righteousness is like the hills of God; Your judgments are a great deep; O Jehovah, You preserve animal and man.
7How precious is Your mercy, O God! And the sons of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings.
8They shall be satisfied from the fatness of Your house; and You make them drink the torrent of Your pleasures.
9For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light we see light.
10Draw out Your mercy to the ones knowing You, and Your righteousness to the upright of heart.
11Do not let the foot of pride come to me; and let not the hand of the wicked ones move me.
12There the doers of evil have fallen; they are cast down and are not able to rise.
