The Prophet describeth the wicked malice of obstinate sinners. 6. Against which he opposeth God's infinite goodness, 9. with his provident mercy towards the worst, and just reward of the good; 12. praying to escape the dangerous gulf of pride.

1 Unto the end, to the servant of our Lord David himself.
2 The unjust hath said within himself, that he would sin: there is no fear of God before his eyes.
3 Because he hath done deceitfully in his sight: that his iniquity may be found unto hatred.
4 The words of his mouth are iniquity, and guile: he would not understand that he might do well.
5 He hath meditated iniquity in his bed: he hath set himself on every way not good, and malice he hath not hated.
6 Lord thy mercy is in heaven: and thy truth even to the clouds.
7 Thy justice as the hills of God: thy judgments are great depth. Men & beasts thou wilt save, o Lord,
8 as thou hast multiplied thy mercy, o God. But the children of men shall hope in the covert of thy wings.
9 They shall be inebriated with the plenty of thy house: and with the torrent of thy pleasure thou shalt make them drink.
10 Because with thee is the fountain of life: and in thy light we shall see light.
11 Extend thy mercy to them that know thee, and thy justice to them, that are of a right heart.
12 Let not the foot of pride come to me: and let not the hand of a sinner move me.
13 There have they fallen that work iniquity: they were expelled, neither could they stand.
