1THE unjust conceives wickedness within his heart, for there is no fear of God before his eyes.

2He is unwilling to see his sins forgiven, or to hate them.

3The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit; he is unwilling to do good.

4He devises mischief upon his bed; he walks in a way that is not good that he may do evil.

5O LORD, thy mercy is in heaven; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the universe.

6Thy righteouness is like the mountain of God; thy judgments are like a great deep; O LORD, thou preservest man and beast.

7How abundant is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men take refuge under the shadow of thy wings.

8They shall flourish with the richness of thy house; and thou shalt give them to drink of the pleasant water of thy spring.

9For with thee is the fountain of life; in thy light shall we see light.

10O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee, and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.

11Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.

12For there the workers of iniquity will fall; they will be cast down, and will not be able to rise.
