1. The rebellion of the wicked saith to my heart that there is no fear of God before his eyes.
2. For he flatters himself in his own eyes until his iniquity is found to be hateful.
3. The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit; he has left off to be wise and to do good.
4. He devises iniquity upon his bed; he sets himself in a way that is not good; he does not abhor evil.
5. Thy mercy, O Lord, reaches unto the heavens, and thy truth reaches unto the clouds.
6. Thy righteousness is like the mountains of God; thy judgments are a great deep; O Lord, thou dost preserve man and beast.
7. How excellent is thy mercy, O God! therefore the sons of Adam cover themselves in the shadow of thy wings.
