[1] Unto the end, for the servant of God, David himself.
[2] The unjust hath said within himself, that he would sin : there is no fear of God before his eyes.
[3] For in his sight he hath done deceitfully, that his iniquity may be found unto hatred.
[4] The words of his mouth are iniquity and guile : he would not understand that he might do well.
[5] He hath devised iniquity on his bed, he hath set himself on every way that is not good : but evil he hath not hated.
[6] O Lord, thy mercy is in heaven, and thy truth reacheth, even to the clouds.
[7] Thy justice is as the mountains of God, thy judgments are a great deep. Men and beasts thou wilt preserve, O Lord :
[8] O how hast thou multiplied thy mercy, O God! But the children of men shall put their trust under the covert of thy wings.
[9] They shall be inebriated with the plenty of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the torrent of thy pleasure.
[10] For with thee is the fountain of life; and in thy light we shall see light.
[11] Extend thy mercy to them that know thee, and thy justice to them that are right in heart.
[12] Let not the foot of pride come to me, and let not the hand of the sinner move me.
[13] There the workers of iniquity are fallen, they are cast out, and could not stand.
