Read the Bible

¹ Sinners don't respect God;
    sin is all they think about.
² They like themselves too much
to hate their own sins
    or even to see them.
³ They tell deceitful lies,
    and they don't have the sense
    to live right.
⁴ Those people stay awake,
    thinking up mischief,
and they follow the wrong road,
    refusing to turn from sin.

⁵ Your love is faithful, Lord,
    and even the clouds in the sky
    can depend on you.
⁶ Your decisions are always fair.
They are firm like mountains,
    deep like the sea,
    and all people and animals
    are under your care.

⁷ Your love is a treasure,
and everyone finds shelter
    in the shadow of your wings.
⁸ You give your guests a feast
    in your house,
    and you serve a tasty drink
    that flows like a river.
⁹ The life-giving fountain
    belongs to you,
    and your light gives light
    to each of us.

¹⁰ Our Lord, keep showing love
    to everyone who knows you,
and use your power to save
    all whose thoughts please you.
¹¹ Don't let those proud
    and merciless people
    kick me around
    or chase me away.

¹² Look at those wicked people!
    They are knocked down,
    never to get up again.
