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.
