1 THE Wicked Mans Transgression doth, ‖ speak this within my heart; ‖ That there's not any fear of God ‖ at all before his eyes. ‖
2 For in his own deceived eyes ‖ he flattereth himself, ‖ till his iniquity be found ‖ to be an hateful thing. ‖
3 Iniquity and base deceit ‖ are the words of his mouth; ‖ he hath left off to understand; ‖ to do the thing that's good. ‖
4 Iniquity he does devise ‖ while he lies on his bed; ‖ he sets upon a way not good; ‖ evil he don't abhor. ‖
