How Precious Is Your Steadfast Love
1 Transgression speaks to the wicked deep in his heart;
1there is no fear of God before his eyes.
2
2For he flatters himself in his own eyes that his iniquity cannot be found out and hated.
3
The words of his mouth are
3trouble and deceit;
4he has ceased to act wisely and do good.
4
He
5plots
6trouble while on his bed; he sets himself in
7a way that is not good;
8he does not reject evil.
5
Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds.
6
9Your righteousness is like the mountains of God;
10your judgments are like the great deep; man and beast you
11save, O Lord.
7
12How precious is your steadfast love, O God! The children of mankind take refuge
13in the shadow of your wings.
8
They feast on
14the abundance of your house, and you give them drink from
15the river of
16your delights.
