36

I have a message from God in my heart
Concerning the sinfulness of the wicked:
There is no fear of God before their eyes
There is no message to treat it

In their own eyes they flatter themselves
Too much to detect or hate their sin
The words of their mouths are wicked and deceitful
They fail to act wisely or do as good perceived

Even on their beds they plot evil
They commit themselves to a sinful course
And do not reject what is wrong
And do not reject what is false

Your love, Lord, reaches to the heavens
Your faithfulness to the skies
Your righteousness is like the highest mountains
The highest mountains for all of us

Your justice like the great deep
You, Lord, preserve both people and animals
How priceless is your unfailing love, O God!
People take refuge in the shadow of Your wings

They feast on the abundance of Your house
You give them drink from Your river of delights
For with You is the fountain of life
In Your light we see light

Continue Your love to those who know You
Your righteousness to the upright in heart
May the foot of the proud not come against me
Nor the hand of the wicked drive me away from the start

See how the evildoers lie fallen—
Thrown down, not able to rise!
Praised be the Lord Almighty
Praised be the Lord, source of wise
