To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD.
1 The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.
2 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful.
3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good.
4 He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.
5 Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.
6 Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast.
7 How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings.
8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.
9 For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.
10 O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart.
11 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.
12 There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.
Cilvēku bezdievība un Dieva žēlastība
1 Korvedim. Kunga kalpa Dāvida psalms.
2 Grēks uzrunā ļaundari viņa sirdī,
tam acīs nav baiļu no Dieva.
3 Viņš lišķē pats sev,
savu vainu necenšas pelt.
4 Viņa runas ir posts un viltus,
viņš pamet gudrību un nedara labu.
5 Postu viņš gudro savās cisās,
viņš stāj uz nelaba ceļa,
ļaunu viņš neatmet.
6 Kungs, līdz debesīm tava žēlastība
un tava uzticība līdz padebešiem!
7 Tava taisnība kā Dieva kalni,
tava tiesa kā milzu dzelme –
cilvēku un zvēru tu glāb, Kungs!
8 Cik dārga tava žēlastība, ak, Dievs!
Cilvēku bērni patveras tavu spārnu ēnā.
9 Tie mielojas ar tava nama labumiem,
no saviem prieka strautiem tu dzirdini tos,
10 jo pie tevis ir dzīvības avots,
tavā gaismā mēs ieraugām gaismu.
11 Izplet savu žēlastību pār tiem, kas pazīst tevi,
un savu taisnību pār tiem, kam skaidra sirds!
12 Lai nemīda mani lepno kājas,
un ļaundaru rokas lai nemētā mani!
13 Redzi, tur gul nekrietnie –
zemē nogāzti, nejaudā celties!
