Psalms 36
1 The
transgression of the
wicked saith within my
heart, that there is no
fear of
God before his
eyes. 2 For he
flattereth himself in his own
eyes, until his
iniquity be
found to be
hateful.
3 The
words of his
mouth are
iniquity and
deceit: he hath left
off to be
wise, and to do
good.
4 He
deviseth mischief upon his
bed; he
setteth himself in a
way that is not
good; he
abhorreth not
evil. 5 Thy
mercy, O
LORD, is in the
heavens; and thy
faithfulness reacheth unto the
clouds. 6 Thy
righteousness is like the
great mountains; thy
judgments are a
great deep: O
LORD, thou
preservest man and
beast. 7 How
excellent is thy
lovingkindness, O
God! therefore the
children of
men put their
trust under the
shadow of thy
wings. 8 They shall be abundantly
satisfied with the
fatness of thy
house; and thou shalt make them
drink of the
river of thy
pleasures. 9 For with thee is the
fountain of
life: in thy
light shall we
see light. 10 O
continue thy
lovingkindness unto them that
know thee; and thy
righteousness to the
upright in
heart. 11 Let not the
foot of
pride come against me, and let not the
hand of the
wicked remove me.
12 There are the
workers of
iniquity fallen: they are cast
down, and shall not be
able to
rise.
