1 A revelation is within my heart about the disobedience of the wicked:

There is no fear of God before his eyes.

2 For he flatters himself in his own eyes,

too much to detect and hate his sin.

3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit.

He has ceased to be wise and to do good.

4 He plots iniquity on his bed.

He sets himself in a way that is not good.

He doesn’t abhor evil.

5 Your loving kindness, Yahweh, is in the heavens.

Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God.

Your judgments are like a great deep.

Yahweh, you preserve man and animal.

7 How precious is your loving kindness, God!

The children of men take refuge under the shadow of your wings.

8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the abundance of your house.

You will make them drink of the river of your pleasures.

9 For with you is the spring of life.

In your light we will see light.

10 Oh continue your loving kindness to those who know you,

your righteousness to the upright in heart.

11 Don’t let the foot of pride come against me.

Don’t let the hand of the wicked drive me away.

12 There the workers of iniquity are fallen.

They are thrust down, and shall not be able to rise.

1 Vir die musiekleier. 'n Psalm van Dawid, die kneg van die Here.

2 In die binneste van my hart sê die oortreding aangaande die goddelose: Daar is geen vrees van God voor sy oë nie.

3 Want dit vlei hom in sy oë in verband met die uitvind en haat van sy skuld.

4 Die woorde van sy mond is onreg en bedrog; hy laat n om verstandig te wees, om goed te doen.

5 Hy bedink onreg op sy bed; hy gaan staan op 'n weg wat nie goed is nie; wat sleg is, verfoei hy nie.

6 o HERE, u goedertierenheid is tot in die hemele, u trou tot in die wolke.

7 U geregtigheid is soos die berge van God; u oordele is 'n groot watervloed. HERE, U behou mense en diere!

8 Hoe kosbaar is u goedertierenheid, o God! Daarom skuil die mensekinders onder die skaduwee van u vleuels.

9 Hulle verkwik hul aan die vettigheid van u huis, en U laat hulle drink uit die stroom van u genietinge.

10 Want by U is die fontein van die lewe; in u lig sien ons die lig.

11 Laat u goedertierenheid voortduur vir die wat U ken, en u geregtigheid vir die opregtes van hart.

12 Laat die voet van die trotsaard nie oor my kom nie, en laat die hand van die goddelose mense my nie verdryf nie. [ (Psalms 36:13) Daar het die werkers van ongeregtigheid geval; hulle is neergestoot en kan nie weer opstaan nie. ]
