1 <V 35:1>Unto the end. To the servant of the Lord, David himself. <V 35:2>The unjust one has said within himself that he would commit offenses. There is no fear of God before his eyes. Transgression speaks to the wicked deep in his heart; there is no fear of God before his eyes. For the director of music. Of David the servant of the LORD. I have a message from God in my heart concerning the sinfulness of the wicked: There is no fear of God before their eyes.
2 <V 35:3>For he has acted deceitfully in his sight, such that his iniquity will be found to be hatred. For he flatters himself in his own eyes that his iniquity cannot be found out and hated. In their own eyes they flatter themselves too much to detect or hate their sin.
3 <V 35:4>The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit. He is unwilling to understand, so that he may act well. The words of his mouth are trouble and deceit; he has ceased to act wisely and do good. The words of their mouths are wicked and deceitful; they fail to act wisely or do good.
4 <V 35:5>He has been considering iniquity on his bed. He has set himself on every way that is not good; moreover, he has not hated evil. He plots trouble while on his bed; he sets himself in a way that is not good; he does not reject evil. Even on their beds they plot evil; they commit themselves to a sinful course and do not reject what is wrong.
5 <V 35:6>Lord, your mercy is in heaven, and your truth is even to the clouds. Your steadfast love, O LORD, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds. Your love, LORD, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies.
6 <V 35:7>Your justice is like the mountains of God. Your judgments are a great abyss. Men and beasts, you will save, O Lord. Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your judgments are like the great deep; man and beast you save, O LORD. Your righteousness is like the highest mountains, your justice like the great deep. You, LORD, preserve both people and animals.
7 <V 35:8>How you have multiplied your mercy, O God! And so the sons of men will hope under the cover of your wings. How precious is your steadfast love, O God! The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings. How priceless is your unfailing love, O God! People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
8 <V 35:9>They will be inebriated with the fruitfulness of your house, and you will give them to drink from the torrent of your enjoyment. They feast on the abundance of your house, and you give them drink from the river of your delights. They feast on the abundance of your house; you give them drink from your river of delights.
9 <V 35:10>For with you is the fountain of life; and within your light, we will see the light. For with you is the fountain of life; in your light do we see light. For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.
10 <V 35:11>Extend your mercy before those who know you, and your justice to these, who are upright in heart. Oh, continue your steadfast love to those who know you, and your righteousness to the upright of heart! Continue your love to those who know you, your righteousness to the upright in heart.
11 <V 35:12>May arrogant feet not approach me, and may the hand of the sinner not disturb me. Let not the foot of arrogance come upon me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away. May the foot of the proud not come against me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.
12 <V 35:13>In that place, those who work iniquity have fallen. They have been expelled; they were not able to stand. There the evildoers lie fallen; they are thrust down, unable to rise. See how the evildoers lie fallen— thrown down, not able to rise!
