1 For the leader. Of David, the servant of the LORD. [2] Sin directs the heart of the wicked man; his eyes are closed to the fear of God. 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 For he lives with the delusion: his guilt will not be known and hated. 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 Empty and false are the words of his mouth; he has ceased to be wise and do good. 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 On his bed he hatches plots; he sets out on a wicked way; he does not reject 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 LORD, your mercy reaches to heaven; your fidelity, 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 Your justice is like the highest mountains; your judgments, like the mighty deep; human being and beast you sustain, 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 How precious is your mercy, O God! The children of Adam take refuge in the shadow 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 They feast on the rich food of your house; from your delightful stream you give them drink. 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 For with you is the fountain of life, and in your light we see 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 Show mercy on those who know you, your just defense to the upright of 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 Do not let the foot of the proud overtake me, nor the hand of the wicked 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 There make the evildoers fall; thrust them down, unable to rise. There the evildoers lie fallen; they are thrust down, unable to rise. See how the evildoers lie fallen— thrown down, not able to rise!
