- A Psalme of Dauid, the seruant of the Lord.
- 1
- Wickednes sayeth to the wicked man, euen in mine heart, that there is no feare of God before his eyes.
- 2
- For hee flattereth himselfe in his owne eyes, while his iniquitie is foud worthy to be hated.
- 3
- The wordes of his mouth are iniquitie and deceit: hee hath left off to vnderstand and to doe good.
- 4
- Hee imagineth mischiefe vpon his bed: he setteth himselfe vpon a way, that is not good, and doeth not abhorre euill.
- 5
- Thy mercy, O Lord, reacheth vnto the heauens, and thy faithfulnesse vnto the cloudes.
- 6
- Thy righteousnesse is like the mightie moutaines: thy iudgements are like a great deepe: thou, Lord, doest saue man and beast.
- 7
- How excellent is thy mercy, O God!
therefore the children of men trust vnder the shadowe of thy wings.
- 8
- They shall be satisfied with the fatnesse of thine house, and thou shalt giue them drinke out of the riuer of thy pleasures.
- 9
- For with thee is the well of life, and in thy light shall we see light.
- 10
- Extend thy louing kindnes vnto them that knowe thee, and thy righteousnesse vnto them that are vpright in heart.
- 11
- Let not ye foote of pride come against me, and let not the hand of ye wicked men moue me.
- 12
- There they are fallen that worke iniquity: they are cast downe, and shal not be able to rise.
