1 My heart sheweth me the | wickedness • of the un- | godly ||

that there is no | fear of | God be•fore his | eyes. ||

2 For he flattereth him- | self • in his | own sight ||

until his a- | bomin•able | sin be • found | out. ||

3 The words of his mouth are unrighteous, and | 3 full of de- | ceit ||

he hath left off to behave himself | wisely, | and to • do | good. ||

4 He imagineth mischief upon his bed, and hath set himself in | no good | way ||

neither doth he abhor | any • thing | that is | evil. ||

5 Thy mercy, O Lord, reacheth | 3 unto the | heavens ||

and thy | faithful•ness | 3 unto the | clouds. ||

6 Thy righteousness standeth | like the • strong | mountains ||

thy | 3 judgements are | like the • great | deep. ||

7 Thou, Lord, shalt save both man and beast; * How excellent is thy | mercy, • O | God ||

and the children of men shall put their | trust • under the | shadow • of thy | wings. ||

8 They shall be satisfied with the | plenteousness • of thy | house ||

and thou shalt give them drink of thy | pleasures, • as | 3 out of the | river. ||

9 For with thee is the | well of | life ||

and in | 3 thy light shall | we see | light. ||

10 O continue forth thy lovingkindness unto | them that | know thee ||

and thy righteousness unto | 3 them that are | true of | heart. ||

11 O let not the foot of | pride • come a- | gainst me ||

and let not the | hand • of the un- | godly • cast me | down. ||

12 There are they fallen, | all that • work | wicked•ness ||

they are cast down, and shall | not be | 3 able to | stand. ||

Glory | be • to the | Father, ||

and to the Son, | and • to the | Holy | Ghost; ||

As it | was in • the be- | ginning, ||

is now, and ever shall be, * | world with•out | end. A- | men. ||
