1 To victory, to David or the psalm of David, the servant of the Lord. The unjust man said, that he trespass in himself; the dread of God is not before his eyes. (For the choirmaster, a song by David, a servant of the Lord. The wicked man said, My sin, or my trespass, is my concern alone; and so the fear of God is not in his heart or and so reverence for God is not in his heart.)
2 For he did guilefully in the sight of God; that his wickedness be found to (be) hatred. (But he did deceitfully before God; until his wickedness was found to be hateful.)
3 The words of his mouth be wickedness and guile; he would not understand to do well. (The words of his mouth be wicked and deceitful; he desireth not to understand, or to do good.)
4 He thought wickedness in his bed; he stood nigh (to) all way(s) (that be) not good; forsooth he hated not malice.
5 Lord, thy mercy is in heaven; and thy truth is unto the clouds. (Lord, thy love reacheth up to the heavens; and thy faithfulness up to the clouds.)
6 Thy rightfulness is as the hills of God; thy dooms be (as) much depth of waters. Lord, thou shalt save men and beasts; (Thy righteousness is as high as the mountains; thy judgements, or thy just acts, be as deep as the water. Lord, thou shalt save people and beasts;)
