Psalms 36

1 For the end, by David the servant of the Lord. The transgressor, that he may sin, says within himself, [that] there is no fear of God before his eyes.

The transgression of the wicked saith within my heart, that there is no fear of God before his eyes.

2 For he has dealt craftily before him, to discover his iniquity and hate it.

For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, until his iniquity be found to be hateful.

3 The words of his mouth are transgression and deceit: he is not inclined to understand [how] to do good.

The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit: he hath left off to be wise, and to do good.

4 He devises iniquity on his bed; he gives himself to every evil way; and does not abhor evil.

He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.

5 O Lord, your mercy is in the heaven; and your truth [reaches] to the clouds.

Thy mercy, O Yhwh, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds.

6 Your righteousness is as the mountains of God, your judgements are as a great deep: O Lord, you will preserve men and beasts.

Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O Yhwh, thou preservest man and beast.

7 How have you multiplied your mercy, O God! so the children of men shall trust in the shelter of your wings.

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 fully satisfied with the fatness of your house; and you shall cause them to drink of the full stream of your delights.

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 you is the fountain of life: in your light we shall see light.

For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.

10 Extend your mercy to them that know you; and your righteousness to the upright in heart.

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 sinners move me.

Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me.

12 There have all the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast out, and shall not be able to stand.

There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.
