 And my tongue shall be talking of your righteousness * and of your praise all the day long.

There is a voice of rebellion deep in the heart of the wicked; * there is no fear of God before his eyes.

He flatters himself in his own eyes * that his hateful sin will not be found out.

The words of his mouth are wicked and deceitful; * he has left off acting wisely and doing good.

He thinks up wickedness upon his bed and has set himself in no good way; * he does not abhor that which is evil.

Your love, O, reaches to the heavens, * and your faithfulness to the clouds.

Your righteousness is like the strong mountains, your justice like the great deep; * you save both man and beast, O.

How priceless is your love, O God! * your people take refuge under the shadow of your wings.

They feast upon the abundance of your house; * you give them drink from the river of your delights.

For with you is the well of life, * and in your light we see light.

Continue your loving&#8209;kindness to those who know you, * and your favor to those who are true of heart.
