The fountain of life

The rebellion of the wicked says inside my heart that there's no fear of God in his eyes. He flatters himself in his own eyes until his wrongdoing is found to be hateful. The words of his mouth are wrongdoing and deceit. He's stopped being wise and doing good. He thinks up wrongdoing on his bed. He sets himself on a way that isn't good. He doesn't hate evil. LORD, your mercy is in the heavens, and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds. Your righteousness is like the great mountains; your judgments are a great deep. LORD, you preserve both man and beast. How precious your faithful love is, God! The people trust under the shadow of your wings. They'll be filled right up with the good things of your house, and you'll give them a drink from the river of your delights. Because with you is the fountain of life. In your light we'll see light. Keep your mercy going for those who know you, and your righteousness for the upright in heart. Don't let the foot of pride come at me, and don't let the hand of the wicked shift me. That's where the evildoers have fallen. They're pushed down and they can't rise.

The rebellion of the wicked says inside my heart that there's no fear of God in front of his eyes. Because he flatters himself in his own eyes, till his wrongdoing is found out and hated. The words of his mouth are wrongdoing and cheating. He's stopped being wise and doing good. He thinks up wrongdoing on his bed. He sets himself on a way that isn't good. He doesn't hate evil. Lord, your faithful love is in the heavens, and your trueness reaches to the clouds. Your righteousness is like the great mountains. Your judgments are a great deep. Lord, you save man and beast. How precious your faithful love is, God. So the sons of men take shelter under the shadow of your wings. They'll be filled right up with the good things of your house, and you'll give them a drink from the river of your delights. Because with you is the fountain of life. In your light we'll see light. Keep your faithful love going for the ones who know you, and your righteousness for the upright in heart. Don't let the foot of pride come at me, and don't let the hand of the wicked shift me. That's where the workers of wrong have fallen. They're pushed down and they can't get up.

The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes. For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful. The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good. He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil. Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds. Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast. How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings. They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures. For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light. O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart. Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me. There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.
