1 An oracle within my heartconcerning the transgression of the wicked person:There is no dread of God before his eyes,
2 for in his own eyes he flatters himself too muchto discover and hate his sin.
3 The words of his mouth are malicious and deceptive; he has stopped acting wisely and doing good.
4 Even on his bed he makes malicious plans. He sets himself on a path that is not goodand does not reject evil.
5 Lord, Your faithful love reaches to heaven,Your faithfulness to the clouds.
6 Your righteousness is like the highest mountains;Your judgments, like the deepest sea. Lord, You preserve man and beast.
