Psalms 36
1 Unto the end. To the servant of the Lord, David himself. The unjust one has said within himself that he would commit offenses. There is no fear of God before his eyes.
To him that excelleth. A Psalme of Dauid, the servant of the Lord. Wickedness sayeth to the wicked man, euen in mine heart, that there is no feare of God before his eyes.
2 For he has acted deceitfully in his sight, such that his iniquity will be found to be hatred.
For hee flattereth himselfe in his owne eyes, while his iniquitie is foud worthy to be hated.
3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit. He is unwilling to understand, so that he may act well.
The wordes of his mouth are iniquitie and deceit: hee hath left off to vnderstand and to doe good.
4 He has been considering iniquity on his bed. He has set himself on every way that is not good; moreover, he has not hated evil.
Hee imagineth mischiefe vpon his bed: he setteth himselfe vpon a way, that is not good, and doeth not abhorre euill.
5 Lord, your mercy is in heaven, and your truth is even to the clouds.
Thy mercy, O Lord, reacheth vnto the heauens, and thy faithfulnesse vnto the cloudes.
6 Your justice is like the mountains of God. Your judgments are a great abyss. Men and beasts, you will save, O Lord.
Thy righteousnesse is like the mightie moutaines: thy iudgements are like a great deepe: thou, Lord, doest saue man and beast.
7 How you have multiplied your mercy, O God! And so the sons of men will hope under the cover of your wings.
How excellent is thy mercy, O God! therefore the children of men trust vnder the shadowe of thy wings.
8 They will be inebriated with the fruitfulness of your house, and you will give them to drink from the torrent of your enjoyment.
They shall be satisfied with the fatnesse of thine house, and thou shalt giue them drinke out of the riuer of thy pleasures.
9 For with you is the fountain of life; and within your light, we will see the light.
For with thee is the well of life, and in thy light shall we see light.
10 Extend your mercy before those who know you, and your justice to these, who are upright in heart.
Extend thy louing kindnes vnto them that knowe thee, and thy righteousnesse vnto them that are vpright in heart.
11 May arrogant feet not approach me, and may the hand of the sinner not disturb me.
Let not ye foote of pride come against me, and let not the hand of ye wicked men moue me.
12 In that place, those who work iniquity have fallen. They have been expelled; they were not able to stand.
There they are fallen that worke iniquity: they are cast downe, and shall not be able to rise.
