Transgression speaks to wicked man; deep in his heart it lies. There surely is no fear of God before the sinner’s eyes. He views himself with flattery, and sinfulness denies. He thinks his sin cannot be found and cannot be despised. His mouth speaks trouble and deceit; his words are godless lies. He keeps himself from doing good and ceases being wise. He meditates upon his bed to plan his wickedness. He sets himself in ways not good; the wrong does not detest. Your mercy and your truth, O LORD, transcend the lofty sky; your righteousness, like mountains high; your judgments, deep and wide. LORD, you preserve both man and beast. Your love is great and kind! Beneath the shadow of your wings mankind may refuge find. With great abundance in your house, they feast ’til satisfied; from streams of your unfailing joy their thirst shall be supplied. The fountain of eternal life with you alone abides. Within the brightness of your light we see the light of life. From those who know you, may your love and mercy ne’er depart. And may your righteousness protect and bless the upright heart. Let not the proud raise foot or hand to drive me from your side. The evildoers are thrown down and never shall arise.
