To the Overseer. -- By a servant of Jehovah, by David. The transgression of the wicked Is affirming within my heart, `Fear of God is not before his eyes, |
2. |
For he made `it' smooth to himself in his eyes, To find his iniquity to be hated. |
3. |
The words of his mouth `are' iniquity and deceit, He ceased to act prudently -- to do good. |
4. |
Iniquity he deviseth on his bed, He stationeth himself on a way not good, Evil he doth not refuse.' |
5. |
O Jehovah, in the heavens `is' Thy kindness, Thy faithfulness `is' unto the clouds. |
6. |
Thy righteousness `is' as mountains of God, Thy judgments `are' a great deep. Man and beast Thou savest, O Jehovah. |
7. |
How precious `is' Thy kindness, O God, And the sons of men In the shadow of Thy wings do trust. |
8. |
They are filled from the fatness of Thy house, And the stream of Thy delights Thou dost cause them to drink. |
9. |
For with Thee `is' a fountain of life, In Thy light we see light. |
10. |
Draw out Thy kindness to those knowing Thee, And Thy righteousness to the upright of heart. |
11. |
Let not a foot of pride meet me, And a hand of the wicked let not move me. |
12. |
There have workers of iniquity fallen, They have been overthrown, And have not been able to arise! |
