Psalms 36

1 To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of the servant of Jehovah; of David. The transgression of the wicked uttereth within my heart, There is no fear of God before his eyes.

Unto the end, for the servant of God, David himself. The unjust hath said within himself, that he would sin: there is no fear of God before his eyes.

2 For he flattereth himself in his own eyes, [even] when his iniquity is found to be hateful.

For in his sight he hath done deceitfully, that his iniquity may be found unto hatred.

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

The words of his mouth are iniquity and guile: he would not understand that he might do well.

4 He deviseth wickedness up on his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good: he abhorreth not evil.

He hath devised iniquity on his bed, he hath set himself on every way that is not good: but evil he hath not hated.

5 Jehovah, thy loving-kindness is in the heavens, and thy faithfulness [reacheth] unto the clouds.

O Lord, thy mercy is in heaven, and thy truth reacheth, even to the clouds.

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

Thy justice is as the mountains of God, thy judgments are a great deep. Men and beasts thou wilt preserve, O Lord:

7 How precious is thy loving-kindness, O God! So the sons of men take refuge under the shadow of thy wings.

O how hast thou multiplied thy mercy, O God! But the children of men shall put their trust under the covert of thy wings.

8 They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou wilt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures.

They shall be inebriated with the plenty of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the torrent of thy pleasure.

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

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

10 Continue thy loving-kindness unto them that know thee, and thy righteousness to the upright in heart;

Extend thy mercy to them that know thee, and thy justice to them that are right in heart.

11 Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.

Let not the foot of pride come to me, and let not the hand of the sinner move me.

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

There the workers of iniquity are fallen, they are cast out, and could not stand.
