Tap any verse to comment or suggest a better wording.

¹For the music leader. A psalm of David, the servant of the LORD.
A message is in my heart about the sin of the wicked man.
He has no fear of God before his eyes. ²For his eyes are too full of pride.
He can't see his own sin or hate it. ³The words of his mouth are wicked and full of lies.
He has stopped being wise and doing good. ⁴Even on his bed he plans evil.
He sets himself on a path that is not good.
He does not say no to evil. ⁵LORD, your faithful love reaches to the heavens.
Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds. ⁶Your righteousness is like the highest mountains.
Your judgments are like the deepest sea.
LORD, you keep both people and animals alive. ⁷God, how precious is your faithful love!
People find safety in the shadow of your wings. ⁸They feast on all the good things in your house.
You give them drink from your river of joys. ⁹For you have the fountain of life.
In your light we see light. ¹⁰Keep showing your faithful love to those who know you.
Keep showing your righteousness to those whose hearts are honest. ¹¹Don't let the foot of the proud come against me.
Don't let the hand of the wicked drive me away. ¹²There the evildoers lie fallen.
They are thrown down and can't get up.
