1 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 will not be found out and be hated.
         
                                
                        3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: He hath ceased 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 Jehovah, 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 Jehovah, thou preservest man and beast.
         
                                
                        7 How precious is thy lovingkindness, O God! And the children of men take refuge under the shadow of thy       wings.
