The Transgression of the Wicked
For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD.
An oracle is in my heart Rom 3:18Pro 16:6Mat 12:33-34Pro 8:13Psa 112:1Psa 143:12Psa 18:12Pe 1:1
regarding the transgression of the wicked man:
There is no fear of God
before his eyes. 1
For his eyes are too full of conceit Deu 29:19Psa 49:18Psa 10:31Ch 10:13-141Sa 15:18-24Rom 7:9Hos 12:7-8Jer 17:9
to detect or hate his own sin.
The words of his mouth are wicked and deceitful; Jer 4:22Psa 55:211Jn 2:19Mat 22:15-18Psa 10:71Sa 11:6-131Sa 13:13-141Sa 15:26
he has ceased to be wise and well-doing.
Even on his bed he plots wickedness; Mic 2:1Pro 4:16Isa 65:2Rom 12:9Act 23:12Mat 27:1Psa 97:10Rev 2:2
he sets himself on a path that is not good;
he fails to reject evil.
Your loving devotion, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, Psa 100:5Psa 108:4Psa 103:11Psa 57:10Heb 6:18-20Psa 89:2Mat 24:35Psa 92:2
Your faithfulness to the clouds.
Your righteousness is like the highest mountains; Rom 11:33Isa 40:28Psa 77:191Ti 4:10Deu 32:4Job 37:23Neh 9:6Psa 71:19
Your judgments are like the deepest sea.
O LORD, You preserve man and beast.
How precious is Your loving devotion, O God, Psa 86:5Rut 2:121Jn 3:1Psa 91:41Jn 4:9-10Psa 139:17Psa 17:8Psa 31:19
that the children of men take refuge
in the shadow of Your wings!
They feast on the abundance of Your house, Psa 16:11Psa 65:4Isa 58:11Jer 31:12-14Isa 25:6Psa 63:5Mat 5:6Isa 48:21
and You give them drink from Your river of delights.
For with You is the fountain of life; Jhn 8:12Jhn 4:141Jn 1:7Jhn 4:10Jhn 7:37-39Rev 21:62Co 4:6Isa 60:19
in Your light we see light.
Extend Your loving devotion to those who know You, Jer 24:7Heb 8:11Jer 22:16Psa 9:10Psa 97:10-111Pe 1:5Jhn 17:3Psa 143:1-2
and Your righteousness to the upright in heart.
Let not the foot of the proud come against me, Psa 16:8Isa 51:23Job 40:11-12Psa 12:3-5Psa 123:3-4Psa 10:2Psa 119:122Psa 119:51
nor the hand of the wicked drive me away.
There the evildoers lie fallen, Psa 1:52Th 1:8-9Jdg 5:31Jer 51:64Psa 140:10Psa 18:38Psa 55:23Psa 58:10-11
thrown down and unable to rise.
