Rebellion’s whisper and God’s wide love

¹For the music director. Of the servant of the LORD, of David. ²Deep in my heart I hear what rebellion says to the wicked: they have no dread of God before their eyes.^{a 3}For they flatter themselves in their own sight too much to see their own guilt and hate it.^{b 4}What they say is evil and lies; they have given up being wise and doing good. ⁵Even lying in bed they plot evil; they set themselves on a path that leads nowhere good and never turn away from wrong. ⁶LORD, your loyal love reaches up into the heavens, your faithfulness as high as the clouds. ⁷Your righteousness stands like the mighty mountains; your judgments are deep as the ocean depths. LORD, you rescue people and animals alike. ⁸God, how precious your loyal love is! All kinds of people make you their refuge, sheltering in the shade of your wings. ⁹They are filled with the rich food of your house; you let them drink from your stream of joys. ¹⁰For the spring of life is with you; it is your light that lets us see light. ¹¹Keep showing your loyal love to all who know you, and show your righteousness to people whose hearts are upright. ¹²Do not let the foot of the proud trample me, or the hand of the wicked push me away. ¹³There the evildoers have fallen; they have been knocked down and cannot stand up again.
