Man’s Wickedness and God’s Perfections

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David the servant of the Lord.

1 An oracle within my heart concerning the transgression of the wicked:
aThere is no fear of God before his eyes. 
2 For he flatters himself in his own eyes,
When he finds out his iniquity and when he hates.
3 The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit;
aHe has ceased to be wise and to do good. 
4 aHe devises wickedness on his bed;
He sets himself bin a way that is not good;
He does not1 abhor cevil. 
5 Your mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens;
Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
6 Your righteousness is like the1 great mountains;
aYour judgments are a great deep;
O Lord, You preserve man and beast. 
7 How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God!
Therefore the children of men aput their trust under the shadow of Your wings. 
8 aThey are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of Your house,
And You give them drink from bthe river of Your pleasures.
