Book One (Psalms 1-41) "Concerning Man"
A Psalm of David the servant of the Lord.
1: The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.
2: For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful.
3: The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good.
4: He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.
5: Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.
6: Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep:
O LORD, thou preservest man and beast.
7: How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God!
therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.
8: They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.
9: For with thee is the fountain of life:
in thy light shall we see light.
10: O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.
11: Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.
12: There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.
1. there is no fear of God before his eyes. Quoted in Ro. 3:18.
