Wickedness of Men and Lovingkindness of God.
For the choir director. A Psalm of David the servant of the Loʀᴅ.
1 Transgression speaks to the ungodly within 1Another reading is my hearthis heart;
There is ARom 3:18no fear of God before his eyes.
Concerning the discovery of his iniquity and the hatred of it.
3 The APs 10:7; 12:2words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit;
4 He AProv 4:16; Mic 2:1plans wickedness upon his bed;
He sets himself on a BIs 65:2path that is not good;
He CPs 52:3; Rom 12:9does not despise evil.
Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
Your BJob 11:8; Ps 77:19; Rom 11:33judgments are like a great deep.
O Loʀᴅ, You CNeh 9:6; Ps 104:14, 15; 145:16preserve man and beast.
7 How APs 40:5; 139:17precious is Your lovingkindness, O God!
And the children of men BRuth 2:12; Ps 17:8; 57:1; 91:4take refuge in the shadow of Your wings.
8 They APs 63:5; 65:4; Is 25:6; Jer 31:12-14drink their fill of the 1Lit fatnessabundance of Your house;
And You give them to drink of the BJob 20:17; Ps 46:4; Rev 22:1river of Your delights.
9 For with You is the AJer 2:13fountain of life;
In Your light we see light.
10 O continue Your lovingkindness to AJer 22:16those who know You,
And Your BPs 24:5righteousness to the upright in heart.
11 Let not the foot of pride come upon me,
And let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.
12 There the doers of iniquity have fallen;
They have been thrust down and APs 140:10; Is 26:14cannot rise.
