1 BY wicked mens ungodly lives My heart hath [surely] understood, What ere he says, before his eyes There is no [serious] fear of God.
2 By flattery he deceives himself, As [safe and] just in his own eyes, Till God make known how hateful are His [many] foul iniquities.
3 His profane mouth in his discourse Doth [daily] speak deceit and sin; For to be wise, and to do good, [This shows] he wants a heart within.
3 His prophane mouth in his discourse Doth [daily] speak deceit and sin; For to be wise, and to do good, [This shews] he wants a heart within.
