An inner sanctuary is within my heart about the disobedience of the wicked: “There is no fear of God before his eyes.”

2 F or he makes much of himself in his own eyes. So his sin is not known and hated.

For he flatters himself in his own eyes, too much to detect and hate his sin.

3 T he words of his mouth are sinful and false. He has stopped being wise and doing good.

The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit. He has ceased to be wise and to do good.

4 H e plans wrong-doing upon his bed. He sets himself on a path that is not good. He does not hate what is bad.

He plots iniquity on his bed. He sets himself in a way that is not good. He doesn’t abhor evil.

11 D o not let the foot of pride come near me. Do not let the hand of the sinful push me away.

Don’t let the foot of pride come against me. Don’t let the hand of the wicked drive me away.
