Your (A)mercy, Lord, [a]extends to the heavens,
Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
Your (B)righteousness is like the [b]mountains of God;
Your (C)judgments are like the great deep.
Lord, You [c](D)protect mankind and animals.
How (E)precious is Your mercy, God!
And the sons of mankind (F)take refuge in the shadow of Your wings.
They (G)drink their fill of the [d]abundance of Your house;
And You allow them to drink from the (H)river of Your delights.
For the (I)fountain of life is with You;
In Your light we see light.

10 Prolong Your mercy to (J)those who know You,
And Your (K)righteousness to the upright of heart.
11 May the foot of pride not come upon me,
And may the hand of the wicked not drive me away.
12 Those who do injustice have fallen there;
They have been thrust down and (L)cannot rise.
