\d A psalm written for the choir director by David, a man who served God faithfully
|
|
\b
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 1 A continual desire to sin is in the inner beings of wicked people.
|
|
\q1 They consider that they do not need to have an awesome respect for God.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 Because they want to believe good things about themselves,
|
|
\q2 they do not think that God knows and hates their sins.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 3 Everything that they say is deceitful and full of lies;
|
|
\q2 they no longer do what is good
|
|
\q2 and are no longer wise.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 4 While they are lying on their beds, they plan to do things to harm others;
|
|
\q2 they are determined to do things that are not good,
|
|
\q2 and they never refuse to do what is evil.
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|

|
|
\q2 your faithfulness in doing what you have promised extends up to the clouds.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 6 Your righteous behavior is as permanent as the highest mountains;
|
|
\q2 your acting justly will continue as long as the deepest oceans will continue.
|

|
\q1
|
|
\v 7 God, your faithful love for us is very precious.
|
|
\q1 You protect us like birds protect their baby birds under their wings .
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 8 You provide for us plenty of food from the abundant supply that you have;
|
|
\q2 your great gifts flow to us like a river.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 9 You are the one who causes everything to live;
|
|
\q2 your light is what enables us to know the truth about you.
|
|

\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 10 Continue to faithfully love those who are faithful to you,
|
|
\q2 and protect those who act righteously.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 11 Do not allow proud people to attack me,
|
|
\q2 or allow wicked people to chase me away.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 12 Look where evil people have fallen on the ground, defeated;
|
|
\q2 they were thrown down, and they will never rise again.
