Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens, your
faithfulness to the clouds.
Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your judgments are like the
great deep; man and beast you save, O Lord.
How precious is your steadfast love, O God!
The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
They feast on the abundance of your house, and you give them drink from the
river of your delights.
For with you is the fountain of life; in your light do we see light.
Oh, continue your steadfast love to those who know you, and your righteousness
to the upright of heart!
Let not the foot of arrogance come upon me, nor the hand of the wicked drive me
away.
There the evildoers lie fallen; they are thrust down, unable to rise.
Transgression speaks to the wicked deep in his heart; there
is no fear of God before his eyes.
For he flatters himself in his own eyes that his iniquity cannot be found out
and hated.
The words of his mouth are trouble and deceit; he has ceased to act wisely and
do good.
He plots trouble while on his bed; he sets himself in a way that is not good; he
does not reject evil.
