PSALM 36
To the chief Musician, A Psalm
of David the servant of the LORD.
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 mischiefa upon his bed; he
setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.
5Thy
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 excellentb 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 continuec 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.
