Dual Panel1For the leader: for the LORD's servant: for David A WICKED person's talk is prompted by sin in his heart; he sees no need to fear God.
2For it flatters and deceives him and, when his iniquity is found out, he does not change.
3Everything he says is mischievous and false; he has lost all understanding of right conduct;
4he lies in bed planning the mischief he will do. So set is he on his evil course that he rejects no wickedness.
5LORD, your unfailing love reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies.
6Your righteousness is like the lofty mountains, your justice like the great deep; LORD who saves man and beast,
7how precious is your unfailing love! Gods and frail mortals seek refuge in the shadow of your wings.
8They are filled with the rich plenty of your house, and you give them to drink from the stream of your delights;
9for with you is the fountain of life, and by your light we are enlightened.
10Continue your love unfailing to those who know you, and your saving power towards the honest of heart.
11Let not the foot of the proud come near me, let no wicked hand disturb me.
12There they lie, the evildoers, flung down and not able to rise.
