1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD. The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, There is no fear of God before his eyes.
2 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, that his iniquity shall not be found out and be hated.
3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise and to do good.
4 He deviseth iniquity upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.
5 Thy lovingkindness, O LORD, is in the heavens; thy faithfulness reacheth unto the skies.
6 Thy righteousness is like the mountains of God; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast.
