1 TO THE OVERSEER. BY A SERVANT OF YHWH, 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 He devises iniquity on his bed, || He stations himself on a way not good, || He does not refuse evil.” 5 O YHWH, Your kindness is in the heavens, || Your faithfulness is to the clouds. 6 Your righteousness is as mountains of God, || Your judgments are a great deep. You save man and beast, O YHWH. 7 How precious is Your kindness, O God, || And the sons of men trust || In the shadow of Your wings. 8 They are filled from the fatness of Your house, || And You cause them to drink the stream of Your delights. 9 For a fountain of life is with You, || In Your light we see light. 10 Draw out Your kindness to those knowing You, || And Your righteousness to the upright of heart. 11 Do not let a foot of pride meet me, || And do not let a hand of the wicked move me. 12 Workers of iniquity have fallen there, || They have been overthrown, || And have not been able to arise!
