36 - Dixit injustus

1   My heart shows me the wickedness of the ungodly; 🞙
    there is no fear of God before his eyes. 

2   For he flatters himself in his own sight, 🞙
    until his abominable sin is found out. 

3   The words of his mouth are unrighteous and full of deceit; 🞙
    he has left off behaving wisely and doing good. 

4   He imagines mischief upon his bed, and has set himself in no good way; 🞙
    neither does he abhor anything that is evil. 

5   Your mercy, O Lord, reaches to the heavens, 🞙
    and your faithfulness to the clouds. 

6   Your righteousness stands like the strong mountains; your judgments are like the great deep; 🞙
    you, Lord, shall save both man and beast.

7   How excellent is your mercy, O God! 🞙
    The children of men shall take refuge under the shadow of your wings. 

8   They shall be satisfied with the plenteousness of your house, 🞙
    and you shall give them drink from your pleasures as out of a river. 

9   For with you is the well of life, 🞙
    and in your light shall we see light. 

10  O continue your loving-kindness to those who know you, 🞙
    and your righteousness to those who are true of heart. 

11  O let not the foot of the proud come against me, 🞙
    and let not the hand of the ungodly cast me down. 

12  There have they fallen, all those who work wickedness; 🞙
    they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.
