The transgression of the wicked

1
A continual desire to sin is in the inner beings of wicked people. They consider that they do not need to have an awesome respect for God.
2
Because they want to believe good things about themselves, they do not think that God knows and hates their sins.
3
Everything that they say is deceitful and full of lies; they no longer do what is good and are no longer wise.
4
While they are lying on their beds, they plan to do things to harm others; they are determined to do things that are not good, and they never refuse to do what is evil.
5
Yahweh, your faithful love for us reaches as high as the heavens; your faithfulness in doing what you have promised extends up to the clouds.
6
Your righteous behavior is as permanent as the highest mountains; your acting justly will continue as long as the deepest oceans will continue. You take care of people and you take care of animals.
7
God, your faithful love for us is very precious. You protect us like birds protect their baby birds under their wings.
8
You provide for us plenty of food from the abundant supply that you have; your great gifts flow to us like a river.
9
You are the one who causes everything to live; your light is what enables us to know the truth about you.
10
Continue to faithfully love those who are faithful to you, and protect those who act righteously.
11
Do not allow proud people to attack me, or allow wicked people to chase me away.
12
Look where evil people have fallen on the ground, defeated; they were thrown down, and they will never rise again.
